Wow. Thank goodness my wife and daughter were on the ball because I got an email from a DARREN HUGHES at HNE REALITY saying the same as all the other people here.  I had applied for BB Canada about 5 weeks ago and he said I had made it to the short list but needed to pay $350. I was in shock yet excited.  He was trying to push it fast saying that he needed the money right away because casting directors were waiting for my profile.  OMG.  What a jerk.. I am not a dumb man, yet he sounded so professional and just about got the money out of me !!!!  I can't believe he almost had me pay right away. Thank goodness there is google now where a person can almost check on anyone.  I hope everyone goes with their gut iinstinct and not pay people that you dont know one penny !  Thanks for all this info on HNE REALITY.  SCAMMMMMMMMM ARTISTS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  Andrew

BUT..... I still would like to know how a TV show allowed private information to leek to scam artists out there?  Or did they actually sell my application to them for a percentage of the money that the scam artist would receive?   That doesnt say much about them. I'm not impressed at all.

I always go with Tyra's # 1. Rule ( America next top Model).....1. To Audition, It shouldn't cost and no one or any one that cast you, me or him in anything.....should next us to pay for any thing other then our own personal stuff, you feel me though. Example, If I ever cast; crossing my fingers....I will never pay to get cast or should I have to. If it smells like a rotten apple, it usualy is; even though sometimes it doesn't look like it.! Good luck people and stay on your toes!
seriously???

It was a pleasure speaking with you.  I know this is alot of info to process in a single conversation.  I've included some links below, & summarized some of the things we discussed earlier. This should give you a better understanding of what HNE does and success we have in the industry.  I will need any 6 photos of yourself as early as possible today to be sent to my email!  This is a very competitive industry so I can't emphasize enough how quickly I need this material.  



A bit more about us - HNE Reality is the largest Reality TV support agency in the world.  Since 2003 we?ve helped normal everyday people realize their dreams of being casted on Reality TV Shows.  We work hand in hand with the top production companies in the industry.  These companies are responsible for over 300 Reality TV Shows, including Big Brother, Amazing Race, Extreme Makeover, Survivor, Deal or No Deal, Hell?s Kitchen, ANTM, Real World, Biggest Loser, Bad Girls Club...the list goes on.



When a production company is seeking talent for upcoming shows they log into our database and type in whatever search criteria they are looking for.  The result is our clients profile pages are right at their fingertips.  Our marketing endeavors also include direct contact to the producers and directors of these shows on your behalf.  HNE does not take a percentage of your earnings from whatever show you appear on. We are paid a finder's fee from the production houses once you're casted.  Therefore, if we do not get you on a show we do not get paid.  Because of this, HNE has a rigorous screening process.  We only take on individuals that rate as very high percentage cast or the ?cream of the crop? so to speak.

ya they contacted me for BB  and i actually got the $$$ together today to give but i thought i'd do my homework first. i applied on Slice TV so why are is darren from HNE contacting me? and he said the same thing to me as everyone else on here ... "you screened in the high percental of being cast. get back to me asap" with $315 of course. its reality tv any time they want money before hand is bull s***. glad im not handing mine over. if i screened "that high" i'll go to the casting on my own and screen high there too

I have been picked up by HNE reality and I can say that I think this is a real site, they have a real location that you can clearly see on google maps, and I have spoken to more then one repersentative. I get calls daily and every single call returned when I contact them. I sent my 315$ because it makes sense that they would need to pay to run a online profile. They say they dont make any money until you get casted, that makes sense as well. They own over 900 shows across Canada and the USA. If this is a scam I guess I'll know soon enough but sometimes you have to take a chance in life to get anything out of it.

I'm currently on the audition list for BigBrother Canada.

I dont see why someone would have to pay to be on reality tv. Check  out.. America Idol  for example  you sure dont see people paying anything for trying out for this show..when America Idiol is the one that travels all over the United States during the casting for the new season. Not one of all the thousands that I have seen casting to be on reality tv have I ever seen or heard of anyone having to pay.If a reality tv show is looking for new talent and are allowing casting. That means they are looking and need so may people for the  new season and if you try out and they like what they see or hear  and pick you. Then your on reality tv. And guess what... did'nt have to pay America Idol anything. Reality TV needs you as much as you want to be on the show. But by paying some so called Talent Promation service such as HNE, will not get you there any faster and maybe not at all. Your the only one who will be doing your audition for the show, so your the only one who can get you there if its going to happen at all. Quit believing everything you read or someone thats trying to sell you what they say they do ... Dont pay .. It's not going to help.. Watch for casting for different reality show on the official web site of each reality show and if they are casting at that time you can apply and go from there..

To get on a reality tv show go to the official site.. such as Deal or no Deal .. make sure it says its the officicial. If they are casting  for there show then this is where you will apply. It will cost you nothing. If you chosen then you chosen .. believe me they what you more than you want  to be on the show ...if you are what they are looking for. that is!.These reality tv shows make lots of money ..if its ligit they will be paying you not the other way around. Each reality show will cast for new talent on there on web site ..so make sure you are on a official site.. Also if you are called and when you call  them back ...you should'nt get from a professional official reality show a cell phone (with the voice mail- saying the sprint customer you called is not available) of ( Hello - Hello) from the so called professional if its a ligit business of any kind. The call would be answered such as you have recieved Hollywood North Entertainment... or You have reached Nbc, ..You haved reached U S Cellular.and so forth. Thats kinda a tell tell sign and all the different crazy area codes.. 864,847,646 and on .. first of all Hollywood North should be located in California..right well area code 864 is a South Carolina area code.847 is illinois, 646 is New York.. But Darrin Hughes  which is suppose to be the senior talent cordinatoor for Hollywood North Entertainment  has used each of this area codes and different numbers (847-477-8141) is one. Would'nt  a company thats located in California have only a california are code.. not several different state area codes. and numbers. I know if I call U S cellular the number is the same every time or Bank of America .. the number is same every time. Especially the are code.. You cant call Calif. if you don't dial a Area code that is one of calif. or Oregon if you don't dial the oregon Area Code. Sounds like spoof.. it's where they can with this program make there phone show dirrerent phone numbers and even that it is from a location that they are not really at. Check out how spoof works and it adds up all the different names..this so called company uses and also all the made up numbers and all so different. There web page does'nt have a physical or mailing address either.. only Name of" Fake" Business. And the site is not secured so watch out they could try and hack you and get all your vidal information..

Hello My little sister just got scammed by Natalie Davis. If you are suing them we can definitely help as we will also be suing. I think a class action suit should be brought upon these low life beings. I even called NBC/ Oxygen to make sure there was no Natalie Davis and no such thing as having to pay to be on a reality show. This is the blatant lies she told my little sister, which have brought her so much pain and discouragement for following her dreams. I will not stop until this company is brought down!

Derek Rogers::you are not professional u dont have education as you tell me that///
Everyone ???  Who is everyone.  We do not issue refunds.


However you should get your facts straight before sending out an email like the one below.You do realise that your daughter submitted an application to our company?  I'm assuming that you would've reviewed our website, testimonials & endorsements before sending the email below.  If so you should have an understanding of exactly what it is we do and the success that we have had doing it.  Your allegations and the threatening nature of your email is way out of line.  It is not appreciated, nor taken lightly.  

As a lawyer, I hope for your clients sake that you would do a better job of researching and getting your facts straight before coming to the ridiculous conclusion that you seem to have arrived at about our company.  Your probably referencing 800 Notes?  That?s the only place you?ll see negative comments about HNE.  Ironically 800 Notes is a fraudulent site that extorts money from businesses.  They are being sued in several different states. We do not scam people at all, so get your facts straight!!!

Have your Lawyer brother call me and I will let him know exactly what you were told.

Any disputes we will rebuttal right back. is not  professional  for dique HNE Reality

I was called by Darreen Hughes a couple of days ago alos requesting $315.00.  He also sent me a further email outlining details and websites for me to visit.  I was already a contestant on a Food Network show.  He assured me that I would be the type they are looking for...however with a price.  Not thinking this is a good thing and if at all it is real.

Why would an agency need you to pay any money to get on a show. Not comfortable with this at all.

***We spoke about me sending more pics for more consideration & paying $315 for a profile on their site & VIP auditions, his response...

Darren: Thank you for sending in your photos for the castings this year.  These photos will be good enough for the review today and I will call you tomorrow with the final decision...

***He called me I didnt pick, the message he left said: You made it & now all you have to do is pay to get started...I replied...

ME: "Sorry I missed your call. I wanted to thank you for your time & consideration, but i also wanted to let you know i will not spend over $100 on this venture. i have already received an email back from the bad girls club when i applied directly saying they liked my info & im being considered and also i just heard back from a nbc show. so i will love to have more opportunities with you but $400 is not a reasonable price for me. so if there are other options i am open to them.
Thanks"

***If he truly believed in me as a talent, they would try to keep you more: Darren Responded with an unprofessional message:

Darren: "First off its 315.00 not 400 and we have payment options for 157.50 as a first payment.  Now we put you in front of 300 shows all at one time and we do all of the work for you.  If you have other opportunities then go do it and good luck with everything"
---
***So I am done, there are too many things against this company, i would suggest not doing this. They don't seem to really care for anyone, just getting paid.

So funny, how you sound more like an employee than a "happy customer" LOL. The idea that you are a happy customer really defies any notion of "common sense"!

We know sites like this make scams like yours hard to run. We appreciate the endorsement, when you scammers feel so compelled to try to trick people on here, it means you're having trouble tricking them on the phone and wasting your time here. No wonder you can't get a real job!

I for one am glad I took a leap of faith and joined this site.  I'm very happy with this company's services.  For all the nay sayers, Did you ever consider that they do exactly what they say they are going to do?  Is there anyone that is an actual member of of this company that is unsatisfied with their services?  I've read through all the posts and it seems like everyone is just speculating or jumping to conclusions based on nothing factual. They have an extensive list of casting companies and production houses that they work with.  You are given access to all their connections as a paid member.  They also personally follow up with these companies with each and every application their members submit.  Do you not think that they would have a problem after all these years if they were not legit?  Common sense people.
