Subject: Dispute with Be Productions from Scott and Maribel as discussed

Liz,

I do not have access to a fax machine,so I had to send you a scanned copy of our contract and payments (made on a charge account now closed). As I explained,resolution of this matter will only be in a full refund. I have already sent copies of this information to my credit card company,to dispute these payments,based on failure to provide the service,as stated in Domingo's e-mail. I have also contacted several agencies to reach out for help in resolving this matter. I attempted more than once to resolve this,and only got the run around if this is not fraud to get us to sign our contract...it's very,very dangerously close. Please contact me on how this will be resolved either via e-mail or by phone.

Scott and Maribel

Hi! Thank you! Arthur will be on one of our shows by end of year....
Our crew took off to the San Diego area for the BeBopping shows that are
currently being looked up by different networks. We were hoping that they
would be back in production in the Bay Area for our two shows here by September...However Season two of Kids Unlimited and Say What will start
in end of Oct and Nov...So you will be hearing from me then. Sorry, for the delay but Yes! it will happen.
Thanks!

Domingo,who started all this stuff, decided today (April 29,2009) to respond to my reply,when he tried to recruit my child again! I guess he thinks I am a sucker!:

Mr. and Mrs. P, I am deeply sadden that after all I have done for Arthur, helping him
on his cold reads before a showcase, getting him in some background work, being curteous with
you two even after you requested to have Kira become Arthur's talent director and now letting you
know I am no longer with Be and you feel I have done your family wrong is really a shame.
I take great pride in my ethics and the part about "keep smiling" it is like my trademark in thousands
of emails I sent out I say that. For you to think that I have changed my name is also sad, I don't have
anything to hide and still am very proud of my work as a talent director as there are many parents that
can confirm that and you should be one of those also. My full name is Domingo Ivan Casanas
For people that know me I usuallly just sign off as Domingo Ivan...never have changed my name and never
will.

So it saddens me that you have file a complaint. Please be careful in trying to defame my name and character
as I will cc this email to my attorney. Keep smiling and I forgive you.

Thank You!

Domingo Ivan

Hope all is well. I was recruited by IPAC in February and decided to jump ship.

Keep Smiling if I may be of service in the future just let me know.

Thank You!

Domingo Ivan

Do you remember what you told us,when we signed our our contract with Be?..Do
you understand that we did not get the services that YOU told us we would get
prior to signing our contract. Do you really not care about people that much?
Are you with no guilt..just greed? And now you have the nerve to tell us to
keep smiling. The only service you can be is to give our money back for
services not rendered! This is not the last you will hear on this!

My wife sent Domingo this response:

You never helped my son
Arthur on his showcases. You only spent your precious not even 3
minutes of your time to hear my son's commercial. I don't think that
was true statement because, all the kids were all in line waiting for
you. We changed the talent director too because, you never have anytime
for us after you got all our money. You always had an alibi every time
I called you on the phone. Either I'm with the client, I'm driving
can't hear you, I will call you later when I get to my office. One time
I called you and did you say to me that I was spending time with my
family and you will get back to me. Did you get to me and the answer
was NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!. Now you know why I changed the talent director
because, your so professional and keep smiling all the time. Kira
Lancaster spent a lot of time to my son more that 30 min. to 45 min.
that I could say an excellent talent director. First, time I saw you I
thought this was good to be true. Remember the story line that you said
to those parents and their kids. You (Domingo) spent a lot of money for
your daughter to be on a cheer leaders. In Be Productions you don't
have to spend that kind of money because, you promise everything but
does deliver any of it. Did you ever call us about my son Arthur and
the answer again is NO!!!!NO!!!!NO!!!!!!!. LIES..LIES and more LIES!
Do you remember this? To get us to sign,you made a agreement you could
not make happen.
