Has anyone else heard of the UPC Entertainment Group? I just got contacted by them and I don't know but It smells like a scam to me...

Let me know if you've ever worked for them or heard of them before.

I think this website explains it all:

For those people that don't want to click the link:

To be featured on the cover of the "Freestyle" (non existing?) book, you must purchase 40 copies at a cost of $1060.00 .  You will be able to resell the books at a profit.  Yeah, right.

Judging by the grammatic and spelling errors on the website, I doubt the book would ever be anything resembling an actual publication... but hey, that's just my humble opinion.

double post.

I don't trust anything from Nevada

Have you ever noticed that you don't have to read anything in the actual post in these threads about scams. It is just is such and such a scam.

YES

Just to add:

There are no business licenses or other pertinent background information about the company in State or Local records.  The address stated on the UPC website is actually a rented mailbox in a UPS store.

Now, as for MAIL FRAUD:
The UPC address is a rented mailbox. The term "suite" is used on many of his webpages to make it appear that this is anything but a rented mailbox.

As the result of a FEDERAL LAW designed to eliminate MAIL FRAUD, a PRIVATE MAILBOX must be designated with either the '#' symbol or the abbreviation "PMB" in front of the box number. ANY OTHER TERM VIOLATES THE LAW!

You can see it for yourself at the following links:

-an easy to read guide from the Los Angeles Police Department pertaining to the PMB disclosure regulations.

Based on the information at hand (or lack thereof), I would tend to say that UPC Talent (or any of it's 'divisions') are pretty much a fake company.
