The customer also explained that he or she was taking legal action because of Explore Talent's unprofessional behavior regarding how they handled the matter.

"...ExploreTalent.com is by far the world's largest talent resource website and their services are unbeatable. With a big name like Explore Talent, we cant afford to be a scam nor would we want to..."
According to one Explore Talent review on PissedConsumer, the company is not on the up and up. The customer said that he or she tried the service for a few months and decided to cancel his or her membership after not getting any leads.
After calling Explore Talent customer support and canceling the account, the customer began getting "amazing" emails for casting calls only to be ignored when he or she replied to their emails.

Speaking with a real person has proved to be a real challenge for some customers.

This customer also claimed that while he or she tried to cancel an account online, an error page always occurred, making it impossible for them to cancel the account online. Left with calling as an only option, the customer was frustrated because no one would ever pick up the phone.
" … You have to call or submit a request to "Cancel" your subscription, representatives do not answer their phones, and you have to wait a very long time, if anyone will pick up AT ALL …"

"... They are not promising to get you hired for any project. Instead, they are going to help you speed up the process of finding auditions, casting calls and jobs through their massive database and match-cast technology, which will pair you up with the ones that match your preferences as a talent..."
However, one Explore Talent review (#1291473) on PissedConsumer indicates that the company does not deliver on its promises. After paying monthly fees for two years and never getting any leads, the customer tried to cancel his account by calling the Explore Talent phone number and through sending emails, only to find that it seemed no one would get back to him.
" … I've submitted my profile for movie roles, but haven't received any … If you pay for a service you should get what you pay for. Sadly, with Explore Talent, all I get from these people is nothing. I sent emails for cancelation. Nobody has written back…"
6. How Do I Get A Refund from Explore Talent?
In Explore Talent's agreement terms, the company states that if customers paid a fee and did not receive the services promised, they can write or email Explore Talent customer service to request a refund, and the company will return the amount paid within 7 days of the request.
This seemingly easy process was not what one customer experienced. According to one complaint left on PissedConsumer, a customer who had been promised a part in a commercial had to pay for a six-month package in advance in order for the director of the commercial to see the customer's profile.
The customer was then told the director would make contact within three weeks. After three weeks and no word from the director, the customer decided to cancel the account. The customer claimed that Explore Talent said they were keeping half of their money and refund the rest within seven days.
"... I waited 3 weeks. I was supposed to be contacted about the shoot at the end of the 3rd week. I didn't hear anything & was experiencing financial hardship so I called for a refund … it's been over a month & my refund remains to be seen. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM"
