Question
i am 14 years old .i sent photo in to eula talent unlimited. they call saying i have been chosen for an auddition.after audittion they say i have won a scjoolarship but still owe 1500. dollars they want the money up front for their school. im wondering if it is a scam  

Answer
Dear Haylee, This certainly sounds like a scam, is that what your parents think? These sorts of companies exist to cash in on the eagerness of youngsters to become film and tv stars.  Since I can find no web site of the name "eula talent unlimited", I would stay far away from them.  God bless, Doc
