Question
Good Day Sir
Doing our due diligence on proscout of AZ.  They selected our daughter to go to KC but want $795?  What say ye?  Thanks for your professional advice.

Answer
Good day to you.  While not a precise scam, Proscout makes millions on the dreams of youngsters wanting to be actors. Unless your daughter is very very very good and very very very photogenic, nothing much is likely to happen at proscount, except she will have a lot of fun for $725.  The chances of anything amazing happening in KC are infinitessimal. Proscout is one of several such talent fair businesses.  I do not think any are worth the efffort and cost.  Interestingly I had a long discussion on the subject of Proscount with one of their own on this forum.  Perhaps you can find it and read it.  I always recommend that you save your money for other things, like a good summer acting camp when she shows the aptitude.  Best wishes, Doc
