AMTC scam complaint – Actors, Models and Talent for Christ is a scam and nothing else!
I went to AMTC and got scammed out of over $10,000! Do not go to AMTC auditions - they are a scam!
Let me tell you how I know this. I heard an advertisement about 20 times on my local radio station for this AMTC (Actors, Models and Talent for Christ) convention or casting call. I thought it sounded fun and interesting so I figured I’d check it out. I went down and attended it last month. When I look back at it now I know it was a complete waste of time.
I actually went down there and auditioned last month for AMTC Actors, Models , Talent for CHRIST! You know what happened as it happens to everyone – I of cource got the call back – everybody does. I got the callback as well as my son, my daughter and my neighbor and her 4 children. We were amazed as many, many others, were receiving callbacks too. I think everyone received callbacks.
They unfortunately ended up taking $1,000 from us and told us we were absolutely wonderful and could be seen by hundreds of agents and talent scouts (that was a complete lie). They told us to just go home and get some songs prepared and learn everything you need to know by website. And that we would do great and had big million dollar careers ahead of us.
As it turns out you only have 14 days to get your money back. With the online curriculum they have for you to learn what amtc is and the way it is structured, by the time you realize and figure out what you have gotten yourself into (a great big scam), the 14 days is gone. That means you have zero chance of seeing your $1,000 ever again from these creeps.
Then to top it off they want you to gather $3995 dollars per entrant, NOT INCLUDING!!! the $150 a night stay where you HAVE to stay on the florida campus. I found that it is $15 a night just to park there – what a racket! And you have to pay for all your food, and there are only very expensive, fine dining resteraunts in the vacinity.
Our total, not including gas to get there and back is now way over $10,000 lol, and its only to go to this convention to be coached on how to get a job for 6 days. It’s a fun time for sure, but I can have a much better time and several great vacations for far less money. Then in the end, just maybe you get a callback to perform for 60 seconds in front of disinterested agents, but in fine print, they tell you at most only 20% out of thousands of people even get that chance!
AMTC (Actors, Models and Talent for Christ is absolutely ridiculous! What a scam operation they run. It is a total waste of time and money! Big scam, if you say I have talent and I should give it to God, then don’t charge me an arm and a leg. All you have to remember is this – no one has really ever made it big off AMTC and no one ever will. Don’t get caught up in the AMTC scam like we did. You will only lose a lot of your money with nothing to show for it except broken dreams and an empty bank account!
Thanks a lot for telling me this! I signed up for an audition for monday, i’ll definately be skipping that!
AMTC is a total scam. I am not saying this out of anger for not being picked, because I was picked. It seemed fun and great, but then I found out exactly how much this was going to cost. Around $8,000 total by the end of the thing! From talking to friends who are actually getting out there in the entertainment business, it should NEVER cost that much!! EVER! And they claim all this in the name of Christ!! That is SO wrong and EVIL. Sick people. Don’t sign up with AMTC. Its a rip off and NOT in the name of Christ. They are liars and rip you of for thousands of dollars. Don’t waste your money.
This is quite disheartening. I was really looking forward to this event as it is coming to my hometown later this month! Currently, I reside in Nashville and my family, my best friends and I were going to make the drive to Louisville to do this! My father made special arrangements with his work schedule just so we could go but now I am not so sure.
I may still go just to check it out and see for myself, but if I get a call back and then they ask for money, I will know it was a scam.
This sucks.
Yes, I agree it is a scam.
AMTC is a scam. I used to work for them, but I got sick and tired of having to lie to people and steal their money – it was horrible. It’s all a big lie. You will not get anything worthwhile from AMTC. All I can say is stay far away from AMTC and report them to the police. If enough people do this they will get closed down.
