I'm not familiar with One Source but as a rule any 'talent agency' that tries to charge you money up front is a scam.
Here's something i found with a quick web search:

Legitimate Talent Agencies NEVER, NEVER, ask you to pay money.
If you are asked to pay money, it is a SCAM. Leave immediately, no matter how much they ask you you to stay and talk to them, run out of the door! SCAM!
Actors NEVER pay to be represented by a Talent Agency. The agency pays the Actor!
Don't go back on Monday. They only want to take your money.

no one legit wants your money up front. They work for you not the other way around. They take 10% of any money from work that they get you.
This place is just preying on people with dreams and that is sad.
