Question about talent agency on the radio?

Question:Hey I have some experience acting. I do plays at my local theatre [its like my towns version of Broadway, about 200 kids try out for each play and 30 get selected to be in it] I heard this ad on my local radio station about "Hollywood's biggest agency" looking for talent to star on shows like Hannah Montana, Drake and Josh and I-Carly. They are having an open casting call for kids 8-14. I forget what the agency is called. It said call to scedule an audition time. Is this a scam? The first 250 callers get to audition. Could I make it?

It's bound to be John Robert Powers or something. Scam. They're not an agency, they're a school, and they're out to sell you lessons. A big expensive package of lessons.

Do you really think "Hollywood's biggest agency" would NEED to work that hard for new talent? 250 random inexperienced amateurs who happen to call a radio station? It doesn't work that way.

Was it for Proscout?
If it was, DON'T DO IT.
It is bogus if its Proscout.

Its a scam trust me.

It's not a scam it's really legit.
same thing happened here in miami.
i called to make an appointment && before they can actually put me down on the list the lady said she needed to talk to my parent, but by the time i got a hold of my dad i missed my chance.
But go for it. If they ask for money up front then don't do it.
