exploretalent.com.....anyone know anything?

I just came across this website from a link, http://www.exploretalent.com/, and signed up for a free account. It looks fine and dandy but yesterday I get this call from a guy named Kyle from California saying he could hook me up with a gig paying good money here in my town. All I had to do is get the paid membership for 3 months and I could get to the bigger paying gigs. They wanted somewhere around $60 for a 3 month membership. I'm curious about this.

Does anyone have experience with these guys or is it some kind of internet scam where they promise you the world all while they charge you too much for what they offer?

Opinions please..........

Taking a quick look at the website and searching my zip code...

The greater majority of what is there appears to be stuff that can be found on the local Craigslist, MySpace Classifides, Backpage and similar.

They also claim 4,000+ current positions open and looking and I guaran-damn-tee you that's BS. NE Florida ain't New Orleans, Nashville or Austin. I doubt there are 4,000 players in this entire state you'd want to get mixed up with.

Kyle would have to do a little more than dangle some little shiney something to get my money.

Yeah, that's what I suspected. There are so many people out there with gimmicks to try and take your money. I guess this is one of those.
