I think if you're here questioning the site, then it should be enough of a warning not to do it. You shouldn't have to pay for anything before you either land a role, get a job, or anything like that. Legitiamte reality shows and makeover shows never ask for your credit information. I wouldn't give anything like a social insurance number or credit info online.

As most people have pointed out - don't just give out your Credit/Debit/ Bank details out or even personal info.
What you need to do is step back and access this site.
Have thay actually got what you want or just a vague promise - could might maybe.
Find out what (if anything) you get. Then you may find that you can do it yourself - with out them.
Even if after this you feel that this is a wonderful site with "a too good to be true offer" then that is probably what it is and you will end up with an unsatisfactory outcome.
How did you come to know about this site? If it came via Email the do not use the link - try writting the address down and typing it direct into the address bar at the top of the browser.
now look at the bottom of the page/screen and you should see a lock if it is a secure site.
But as someone has already pointed out they use "world Pay" the same would apply to them there should be a lock icon on the bottom of the page. Also in the address bar "http://" would be
"https://"
You could also contact world pay and ask if the site is registered with them:-
http://www.worldpay.com/about_us/index.php?page=contact
Plus you could also ask the site you are thinking of you questions "what do you give for the money?"
Don't be fooled by gaurantees as the are not PROVE of being genuine and will probably be useless.

If it is Credit Card or something NO. Also I hope you realize that Ugly Betty is a hit show and wouldn't have problems if they wanted people. Yeah you should avoid giving anything beyond like a phone-number.

Unless you are being charged to go on the show (somehow I don't think so), why do they need your credit card details, sounds dodgey to me, they are trying to take advantage of young ladies like yourself who are desperate, they should only need your name, contact number/email and perhaps address but not your card details, that is very risky, they could then take out money from your bank account when they feel like it, better to be safe than sorry so "no" I would use common sense and stay well away from that site.

I had a look and the site is looks secure (look for the little padlock at the bottom of the screen) and it is powered by World Pay and thats ok too.............. but what are the chances of actually getting anywhere by registering on this site? Its your money at the end of the day and you can choose to spend it on whatever you want but just looking at the site they're not promising you anything. If you want to give it a shot why not try it for a month and see what you think. That way you're only forking out a minimum amount

i think of it may furnish an incredible stability to the programing it is already accessible. A hearty dose of skepticism is easily...wholesome. a number of the skeptics make me so mad however whilst they do no longer desire to take heed to the information as a results of fact of a preconcieved opinion. i think that's how skeptics sense whilst they watch Ghost Hunters and there is little debunking being executed. It bothers me that some skeptics could desire to attempt and clarify each and every thing particularly than asserting "i do no longer understand what that's". My pastime interior the mystical could make me desire to video show it as a results of fact i desire solutions one way or the different. P.S. "Is it genuine" comments poorly as a results of fact the narrator comes in the process so conceited.

don't give your info. out unless you are buying something. I had this happen before and werid charges appeared on my card and I had to report it lost to stop the charges.

Be wary sweetheart but always remember looks fade, personality is more important.

whatever you do, dont give your card details out to anyone, this is the advice the bank would say too

I say go with your gut. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, don't. Better to be safe than sorry.
