NAME :MICHAEL HURTADO
ID : # 1528436
Membership activation date: 12/21/2009
This letter is a response to your request regarding MICHAEL HURTADO's membership with Talent6
Talent6 is a portfolio hosting site. We provide our clients with the opportunity to create an acting or
modeling portfolio on our website and contact or be contacted by casting directors worldwide. We
offer this service with a 14 DAY risk free trial. Members can cancel the service over the phone.
Refunds are issued if clients cancel by calling to our customer support department at 1-800-981-1287
within that 14 DAY trial period. All members are informed of our cancellation policies when they first
sign up for our service. If they fail to cancel within the 14 DAY risk free trial, our clients can still
discontinue their membership at any time. Customer support department number is provided to clients
in a welcome email, during the initial order call, as well as on our website.
Please review the attached forms which clearly state that the client ordered a lifetime portfolio
with Talent6 for $45.00 and $3.00 shipping and handling fees on 12/21/2009.
This portfolio has been developed and placed into a system that allows the client to be contacted
for work.
The client never called to cancel the service within 14 days risk free trial period. As a result the
billing cycle started and the client was charged on the amount of $34.90 on 01/05/10.
We have closed the account and no further charges will apply.
A proof of positive AVS match has been provided below in the sections “Payments History” and
“Billing Info”.

Please be sure to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.

the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of member companies to offer casting opportunities to
candidates or the ability of candidates to fill casting openings. In addition, note that there are risks,

Executive Summary

Talent6 is an online portal that allows amateur and experienced actors and models to contact
casting agencies for jobs in the entertainment industry. Aspiring actors attracted by online
and print advertising as well as word of mouth can join online at www.talent6.com, or call
our customer support team. Once signed up, members are given a 14 DAY free trial and pay
a 45.00 setup fee for a sample of casting auditions in their area. During 14 DAY trial, users
can cancel their subscriptions, and Talent6 experiences a 15 percent cancellation rate. Those
members who continue to use the service typically stay on for an average of 4-6 months and
pay 34.90 a month. Members` benefits include digital portfolios with their pictures, statistics,
and work experience, as well as access to contact information for the 3,000 national casting
calls posted every month.

In only the last few months, almost 30,000 new members have signed up to use Talent6
services, and our dynamic sales team has signed up 2,000 new members a week for three of
the last four weeks. Talent6 was founded in the summer of 2004, and has since grown
exponentially. With the help of experienced phone and internet customer support, our
332,076 registered users are staying and paying in record numbers.

Though actors are required to pay a monthly fee, casting agencies and photographers are
given free access to the site after they prove their legitimacy during a mandatory interview
process. These agencies can post casting calls online as well as search for Talent6 members in
their area. Members can instantly e-mail casting agents and vice versa, though
communication is filtered by the website to provide a safe internet environment. Ultimately,
this digital link between casting directors and aspiring actors gives members a chance to find
their own fame without having to hire a professional talent agent.

To continue to build on current momentum, an evolution in the Talent6 website is in the


works. Talent6 is using its exclusive proprietary technology to create a talent community for
our members. Actors, models, photographers, casting directors and talent agents will all be
able to network using an interactive web forum, unique in the entertainment hosting arena.

Members will soon have the ability to post videos, music, and scripts to their profiles as well
as compete in Talent6 contests and take online classes. The website will become everything
that anyone may need in the entertainment business. Passive members will have the means to
participate, and active members will find more ways to use Talent6 to succeed.

Though the website was created to meet the needs of mostly amateur actors, Talent6 is
currently working to attract more experienced members and a higher quality of casting calls.
In development are programs to recruit acting schools, managers, and talent agencies in
order to dominate the market on non-union as well as union jobs. Talent6 began an
aggressive campaign in June to attract casting agencies, many of whom have provided our
members with jobs from MTV, HBO, Oxygen, Atlas Media Corporation, Warner Brother`s
Television, Telemundo, The Wire, and endless independent media.
