I'd say no.
First of all, I'd say it's a general rule of thumb not to trust anyone who promises to get your work without ever seeing you. On top of that they want your credit card number sight unseen?
Plus.... here's a rip off report somebody filed on them...

No, do not do it...this may be some sort of ligitamate website, but you can bet that it's still a rip off, and they probably will not do anything for your career. I would suggest trying to get an agent, headshots, resume, etc. Start small if you have to, community theatre, etc...check the classifieds for open calls.

Send me your credit card number at the same time, along with your Social Security Number, your bank account number, your most recent medical report, and your driver's license number while you are at it.
No, silly, never give any personal information to any unsolicited e-mail or even if you know the person, don't do it.

Ummm, NO!!!! Definitely do not trust these people. THis entire scenario just sounds extremely suspicious. You must ask yourself, how important is your good credit to you? This should be very important, and therefore you should not freely give out such information to unsolicited strangers. Good luck, and beware!

hell no!!! if they want to represent you they will pay you, don't fall for this places. I almost did once, some friends of mine actually went all the way and lost almost $3,000 or more, and I am so happy I stop when I did all I lost was $200. And never again will I fall for that. But is true if they want you they wil pay YOU.

SCAM!
Legitimate Talent Agents do not work that way. NEVER do anything online relating to ACTING as all of it is a SCAM!
