Cast You Agency — scam modeling and casting agency

Same thing happened with my family. They called my son saying they are having auditions in their office in Cresent Royal building and then told us that we need to pay for a portfolio and only then they will send him for auditions. They took our money and gave such bad pictures and no job, no auditions. Even if the pictures were good I would think it is ok but they just took the money and gave such bad pictures and after that no work. They are FRAUD. Be careful, they also claim that they are in business for years. They only opened 6 months back and didn't even give any of the jobs that they are claiming to have given. THEY WILL FOOL AND CHEAT YOU. BE CAREFUL. I feel as a parent I need to warn all other parents about this so they do not fall for the same thing.

Everyone please beware of this fraud cast you agency - India's biggest fraud digital casting agency.

They have called my kid for shooting and when I went there with my baby boy staff of cast you was saying lots of sweet story about my kid like .. he is so cute, he have bright future, hero, many other things and after that they said our team will do hard work for your kid to get a chance for next upcoming TV ads. Ok I thought its a very good plateform for my baby boy . I seriously don't want take that NAME because I respect all humans (ledy). There. Actualy the problem is that they all are confused that what they are doing . I would like to request all parents that pls pls pls do not come at cast you thay all are
frauds.

I am one of the victims of this caste you .. being an Advoacte when I received the call for audition I warned the tele-caller if there any hanky panky I will not leave them . They said it’s purely free of cost and no money to be given .. trusting that when I went there with my kid they was a big mess in Bangalore branch .. During this corona they had dumb around 50-60 parents along will small kids around 6 months to 10 years of age for hours together and started asking money from each parent even though they had called us by saying free of cost. No corona Rule was followed even no sanitiser . No social distance.. at least they did not provide us a water for kids .. they staff another next level of Ghamand ... none of them were speaking local language . They were showing attitudes as they are going to give you lifestyle auditions or something.. finally few o[censored]s went to indiranagar police station and lodged complaint against this frauds .. investigation is still on . I am lodging consumer consoling also for misleading the customers as well as for wanting of all parent’s valuable time .. They are new looters .. beware everyone .. don’t waste your time and don’t disappoint your kids by taking there. They will loose their self confidence.. BE ALERT ABOUT THIS FRAUDS 😡

Hey hi going through all the information you have shared I am seriously scared and worried to know that how this agency does a prank calls and false commitment even I got into same procedure but before that i thought to check the review now I feel not to go further with this as I got a appointment for today..

I also got a photoshoot done from them (didn't like the pictures!). They also said that I will be getting assignments, but after the shoot no communication from them.
They are doing the same stuff in Bangalore.

Before 2 days castyou person mr akash call me then he told me that did you search in face book about cast you did you want your baby shooting for free of cost no registration fee no any other charges no portfolio no charges they have direct colobrate with All brands and tell me come for shooting if you child is selected you don't have to pay anything and brand company will pay us and when today we go there in iskon shivalik shilp than there one madam told me that we have to pay 12000/ for two cloths shooting and 30000 for six cloths portfolio i tell her that madam mr akash told me there is no charges no fees then she tell me it's your choice I fight with her that we came naroda to iskon cab charges 600 we have paid if you tell me this that you have to pay we will not go there but really they are fraud and all teams look fraud so i request to all parents don't become fool and pl pl this review is not to take any revenge with them but don't waste your money in this fake company because my son already in Amazon brand

They called us into the castyou office saying that kids been shortlisted for a job. I met Talent Head Shaina who told me to pay Cast You 30k rupees for two kids portfilo photoshoot and told me both my kids will be selected for ads. After I paid them they did not even give me the pictures. No one is answering the call and there is no response. I found out after that they are forcing to people to get portfolios done in Highline studios which they only own. I lost 30k. This is a scam. I am putting a police complaint against the owners Sagar Gurnani and Utkarsh Shah if I do not receive a refund. Many other parents have also been scammed by these fraudsters. Parents Contact me so we can put a complaint together on +91 [protected] or [protected]@yahoo.com.

Fake commitment and Big SCAM also check all other posts that have the same reason for this SCAM

1. You go with all your emotion and hope and they take FULL ADVANTAGE of it. They will show as if you/KID are the start and you will get a call soon please do not miss those calls and cancel the shoot appointment

2. They make you pay 15k for a Photoshoot and to get those unprofessional photos, you can also do PHOTOSHOP, and 100% you will click the best photo using your Mobile.

3. I have taken unlimited follow-up and they have the same scrip which all other end customers face "WE Will UPDATE in SOME TIME" ( LOL)

4. The Portfolio link is insecure and gets DOWN now and then. and you have to search daily if your kid’s profile is uploaded or not.

5. Below is my number of those who all faced the same issue Please create a group and update on social media or other social channels to get this SCAM down.

Friend help me out if there is any other way to get a refund or SAVE others we will work on it.

We got call from cast you Andheri West. Amna Shaina and wot all names u may say. It was for an audition. And i was asked to dress my baby in casual. When we went there. There were clues of being fake everywhere.
Nobody did any audition.
Nobody gave us any form to give further details only that useless board was given to mentioned the basic details after which they will click one pic.
They forgot to click the pic also with the board.
Then went to madam Shaina cabin. All she mentioned was my baby is very attractive and attentive he will get selected and then all she pushed the conversation was on photoshoot to be done which is linked to them.
She mentioned the photoshoot done from outside is not that selective by the team.cz they are not at the required quality as if only cast you photographer knows photography.
When you are professional you respect all sort of Photoshoot. Whether done here with cast you or outside.
Then she committed verbally my child will be selected post the photoshoot .
And lastly to the confirmation she said only few slots available for photoshoot so u need to book it urgently cz there is an ad requirement i mean was that not enough of signals to understand wot are they upto.

Any person who wish to put their child in advertising thing can get into this trap. Trust me if this PPL are capable of giving u ads. They will take cut aka commission from u to select ur child. No one here is for charity.
All they want to tell u is they are not charging u registeration or entry fees but they want u to do photoshoot from them. Which is of[protected] k depends how they see your payment capacity.

So don't get into this castyou trap guys.

I dint pay for any damn shoot. Neither I wish to deal with such fraudsters. Pls be alarmed and don't waste your hard earned money to such scams. Pls file a complaints against such ###.

DELHI CASTYOU SCAM BE AWARE!!!
Such a big scam they are frauds as all the comments above me testify this!! was given a call by castyou company for a free audition on 10th March, 2022, venue ( 302, 3rd floor, A wing, DLF South court mall, Saket ). We were called there and some pooja made us sit in the cabin and asked us to pay 15k for a photoshoot after which she stated we would be called for brand shoot for my 1 year old son. However, since then its been 5 months and they just keep saying we will update you. This turned out to be total scam! as they are doing this all over India. I have read and talked to many people who were victim of this scam across cities ( Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore and now Delhi.) SO PLS BE AWARE!!!

Pooja Chauhan was the so called talent manager who said all fake stuff!! Her photo also attached here.
Nishika is their so called shoot manager
her number contact:[protected]
and here photos are attached here. Please be aware of these people in Delhi doing this scam.

Thank you my friend Abhijit and Saving my time and. Money, even I got a call from Indira Nagar Bangalore office and decide not to go for cast you meeting, where same statement nare said about free no pay anything photo shoot and brand photo shoot..

Fooling around us and playing with our feelings... How pathetic you guys are ... But before getting the payment you will talk like smoother than butter but once you get the payment and a ### photoshoot you guys will just stop responding to our messages saying you have an emergency and all for 5 long months ... If you are not able to handle this then stop giving fake promises

portfolio done on 2nd Oct 2022,

same happen with me, they are taking 20k for portfolio and not given a single call.

As I was scrolling via Instagram found an add
When I clicked it opened cast you page,
and i signed up for modelling, they called back
When I received the call they just asked me to come to their office for model contracts sign and I would get projects.
I checked the Instagram page it didn’t look fake
I checked their shoots and followers
It looked genuine
So when I went there a casting coordinator ANJU I introduced me the assignments
She asked me to enroll by saying that there are lot of ongoing projects and they have huge requirements for models ( this was the first lie ) which shouldn’t be assured to anyone. I believed her and calmly heard more. as she was a managing coordinator and she asked me to make a portfolio I said no because I already had one of free of cost. And she said they wouldn’t accept it as they prefer to give their clients their own portfolios . I said no I was reluctant in getting a portfolio done for 15k as I already knew agencies take using portfolio name and wanted to leave as I didn’t find their portfolio so great. But there were many coordinators who came along and gave more insights on all the additional sources they handle the brands the clients they have etc. as castyou is a well know agency they are taking advantage of showing themselves as genuine.still I wasn’t convinced but anju casting coordinator of castyou 100% assured me that within 3 years validity I would receive at least minimum 5 to 10 client shoots that’s how it works and that was what now I see fake so this should be reported and informed that in future that they should not assure anyone false promises
Not even a single call not even a single reply
And forget about the projects they don’t even know that I had done a portfolio there

I just want no one in future to get into this trap so please take action so that they don’t do this again

Not a fake assurance only for money and the portfolio they make are so damn bad

For more info

@castyou I also have the form that was given by cast you after making the payment . I still have and also have my google pay transaction
I can produce it if you can refund me my amount

Could you please reply? @castyou
