Unistar Talent Steve and Elena Humphries , Alyssa Belen Did not deliver talent as promised. Lied to my film production. Undependable. Dallas, Texas |
7th of Jun, 2012 by User461086 |
I posted a casting notice for 2 films I'm in the process of making. An "actress", Alyssa Belen , contacted me and told me to call her agents, Steve and Elena Humphries at Unistar Talent in Dallas,Texas. Alyssa Belen told me she wanted to be in my films. I contacted them and after several e-mails it was secured and Alyssa Belen confirmed she would be there to film on the agreed upon dates. Unistar Talent also told me they had 2 other actors that would be great for my films, Bryan Hickey and Linda Arsenio. I either ignored or contacted the other actors interested in roles and told them they had all been filled and were not needed. A couple hours later Alyssa e-mailed me and told me she'd had a change of heart,that she was not going to be in my films any longer. Then Unistar Talent contacted me and told me they had read 1 single complaint an actress wrote about me 10 years ago and that was what their decision was based on,Alyssa would not be in my films,nor the other actors. I've made over 30 films and worked with hundreds of actors and one single "actress" Elizabeth Regal was upset with me because she lied about her weight to me and I would also not sleep with her. I e-mailed both Alyssa and Unistar Talent and tried to work this out in a civil manner but they would not.This has held up my production now,costing me time and money. |

I just wanted to inform the public that I no longer work with Unistar Talent Agency, since they failed to follow through with their written promises, such as giving me my printed photos (portfolio/comp card) that I paid them over a grand for! And although I have told them to remove my images/name from their websites/products, it is still posted there. I'm assuming that they don't want to remove images of individuals they no longer work with, due to the fraud that I and others have experienced from them, because they probably would have no one left on their so called "talent" website if they did so! They are a FRAUD! If you choose to work with them after seeing their negative rating of a D- on the BBB website, and all these negative reviews plastered all over the web from former/or current clients that have experienced their fraudulent behavior and business practices, then you're silly! Enter at your own risk! But don't be surprised if and when they take your money and don't deliver you photos and from what another individual stated, even a photo shoot! They will deposit your money immediately the same day to make sure they have it (that's what they did with mine), and you don't have to wait too long after that for the serious decline in communication! You'll be chasing them all the time for answers (about why they haven't followed through with all their promises), and believe me they'll try their best to avoid and run away from you as fast as they can because they are full of sh** and only about your money! Don't waste your time and most importantly your money on this fake, slimy, fraudulent company! And always do thorough research before you invest in any kind of business (especially a talent agency) that doesn't have a history or good ratings and reviews with consumer protection agencies (BBB, ATTORNEY GENERAL, LICENSING BOARD, ETC) and consumers in general! Thoroughly check everything from the company to the people that actually own the company and the individuals they employ or are affiliated with! You may learn a lot without even knowing much about the company yet! In my opinion (formed from my own horrible experience with Unistar Talent Agency) the company is shady and run by liars and scammers! I wish I had the opportunity to read all these reviews before I wasted my money and time on this WACK company. I would have DEFINITELY AVOIDED THEM, just as much as they have avoided giving me legit answers and returning my WASTED money!
IF U HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY THIS FAKE COMPANY LIKE MANY CLIENTS AND VENDORS HAVE STATED...FILE A COMPLAINT AT THE LEAST WITH THE *ATTORNEY GENERAL*, ALSO THE BBB, FILE A POLICE REPORT, WRITE REVIEWS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC (SO THEY DON'T FALL PREY AS WELL TO THESE MONEY HUNGRY DECEPTIVE VULTURES) AND DEFINITELY TAKE THESE DISGUSTING, IMMORAL PEOPLE TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT! |
