I filled out a brief application on Moviework Now Casting website and was contacted the next day, Wednesday, May 18th 2011. They wanted to schedule a casual interview with me on Thursday, May 19th at 10:00 AM. When I arrived at 9:50 AM, I waited for 45 minutes to be seen. Then, Barbara Capra greeted and directed me to her office. She didn’t interview me, or ask ANY questions. The entire objective for her was to push me into buying a package for either $150 or $350. I was shocked, surprised and speechless at what I just heard. I was misled to believe that they wanted to interview me. If I knew this from the beginning, I would have never gone to the appointment. Barbara was on a mission to rush and lure me into buying a package. She was adamant that I purchase the most expensive one. I told her that I didn’t plan on spending that kind of money. She kept using persuasive tactics to convince me. Unfortunately, I feel into her trap and bought the most expensive package. That same evening, I found an alarming number of complaints and beware of SCAM all over the internet; YELP, Complaint Board and Rip-Off-Report to name a few. Now, I am one of many victims that fell into a SCAM and feel extremely violated.

Immediately that evening, I contacted my bank and explained the situation. I filed a dispute on the charge. The bank explained Moviework has 4-weeks to send them a copy of the receipt. Today, June 13th, the bank called me, they received the receipt and a copy of the contract (same contract I was rushed to sign). Basically, it states funds are non-refundable. I contacted Moviework today, hoping to resolve this, just to find out they moved offices and have a new number. Went to their website and found their new number. Spoke to the manager, basically I shouldn't have signed the contract, no refunds.

In summary, I was pushed and persuaded to buy a package. After reading all the negative feedback I was very worried and scared of what I just signed. I thought by contacting my bank the same day that I would have a great chance of getting a refund. Well, I was wrong! So upset!!
