FRAUD ~Scam Artistry At It's Best! Casablanca didn't have a class for my daughter's age group.

Rich lied to me and took $315 plus. We've never received any services for our money, nor would Rich or anyone at his office help resolve this issue. It was very clear they had no intentions of ever having a class for my daughters age group. Rich the director is slick, underhanded, a true blue car sales man.

My daughter was hurt the most having been looking forward to REAL classes. 8380 Baymeadows Rd Ste 14

Ok, I just want to say, I understand everyone's frustration when you are trying to help your child...but, I have to speak up when I see someone bad mouthing a place that changed my daughters life. My daughter was 5 or 6 when she started John casablancas, graduated at 6 & started getting jobs right afterwards.

After you graduate their classes you have the chance to sign with MTM, witch is the best agency in the world! Hope is 8 & has done 2 tv shows, 4 commercials, 6 commercial print (babiekins mag, etc..), 3 fashion shows 9about to do another with chance of walking in N.Y fashion week) & 95% of it came from MTM, so if not for JC, Hope would not be where she is right now. I do understand though sometimes we want immediate results for our children, especially when are children want it so bad! But sometimes they do not want it, it is the parent who wants it & for your kid to make it in this business THEY have to want it!

They will work long boring hours & if they do not have a passion for it they will not want to ever do it again. Hope loves acting & modeling so much she deals with the boring parts because she knows she will get to do what she loves. Also, how do you expect JC to make their money? They have to get paid.

You are going to have to put out money for your child in order for them to make money. JC is a reputable school & I have had casting directors pick Hope just because she has them on her resume, before she had any jobs on her resume. They say they know that the students from JC have the skills & knowledge to make it in this industry. I hope you all have better luck in the future.

I don't know about any other JC, but JC Baltimore is great! Children LOVE John Casablanca's :) Thanks for taking the time to read this.

oh yeah even it is a scam if you take the classes it teaches you to model and stuff and it will be easier for you to make it big

Guest

so what is a reputable place to go. I have ran into about 3 scammers in Baltimore. They did not get any money, but I am sick and tired of trying just to get my daughter dissappointed

Guest

You should report them to the BBB and your attorney general so that they are stopped!

i went for my auddition but afteer that mr derrick gave me second call asking me for $ 2768.00 dollars or $ 240 + $ 100.00 and 161.86 dollars a month for 15 month. I couldnt pay this money in the moment and he gave me the option to pay next day before 3pm i couldnt get the place on time and he told me that i can pay on sunday in the morning starting the classes .so after that i hung up the phone because it was not fair for me to hurry up to pay and after that discover that i had three days more to pay it.

i saw this was a lie from them so i came to this web throu google and i read all of this. scam and crazy lies me . you know what i am a poor person who came to usa from dominican republic close to haiti. do you think i will give away my money and not reach my dream to make my name a movoie call "Sandy" .

come on Miss JOhn casablancas you better create a better world. Hallelluya!!!

so i took my brother in for his first audition at casablancas. an they have told everyone who was in the room the day of auditioning that only four out of the group would make it..

so my bro calls back at 1:30 scared they wouldnt want him back for a second shot but they did. so he's happy and im excited for him. we go back after he calls and they ask him to say another line. so he's does and then she leaves after he's done and says shes gonna go over it with some other guy,before they can sign him.

so she comes back in and congratulations we decided to work with you, because you seem really serious about this so were gonna give u a shot..first will need 450 up front and then 153 a month....wtf. but seeing my brothers face and how excited he looked it made me excited to and believe this place can be legit.the before we leave she congrats my bro once more before we exit the door leaving us believing this place is gonna make us famous before we know it. later on in the day my brother starts to become even more excited.. and of course me to.

so later on after i leave him and go on the pc to do my research about this place.. i find out its a complete scam. theirs so many negative comments about this place an it breaks my heart because now, how im i gonna tell him this place isnt legit when he looked more happy then he's ever looked in his hole life.this is something he really believes in.how do break it down to him..when after he's gonna feel unwanted & useless. and how can an angency take money from one who says they honestly have no money to afford there payments but yet they find a way to convince you that your investing in making more money..when really they just wonna suck your wallet dry weather ur rich or poor..

these people made my brother feel famous and believe he was gonna be..

but after i tell him how screwed up this place i just dont know how he will feel.. but people trust me screw this angency

I understand your frustration. They emailed me from a previous inquiry so I went in and auditioned and get in.

I was soooo excited and turned around they wanted $1900 with $340 of it up front. Well I knew nothing in life was free and I've been wanting to model since I was a little girl. Well long story short, I finished the classes they made me doto "get into the agency" and then they told me that i was "chosen" to model for Avanti. I was even more excited becausse I felt like I was finally getting somewhere.

Listen I am a low income full time college student. My boyfriend at the time had a good paying job so the payments for the 1900 was not an issue.

I get to avanti and audition for them only to find out not only was it ran by te same people that ran the JC center in my area but they were asking for $900 more dollars. You do the math RIP OFF!!!!!
