I got what seemed like an incredible offer from this site. So I clcked on the link and submitted my details. A confirmation sms was sent to my phone. This is where the alarm bells started ringing. I have a folder in my phone called: don`t answer. This is where the sms turned up. Clearly I had dealt with them before and forgotten the bad experience, but had the presence of mind to save the number in the dodgy caller folder. This led me to run a search on the company and it was soon clear, that they are obviously a scam institute. Like most scammers, they try to get you to buy the "pro" account or the subsciption offer and then bill you for things you don't want. You then have to fight them for months trying to get your money back. There are support groups on Facebook for people who have been conned by this lot.
Thankfully I never confirmed my subscription, but that didn't stop them from calling me everyday for two weeks. I never answered the phone.

Tip for consumers:
Don't give them your credi card info.
Check out on Facebook: Original Shaw Academy / Scam Academy (no shaw employees)
There is a change.org petition up to get them investigated:

The only thing they seem to be interested in is getting you to sign up for the pro version.
I might not have been scammed by them so far, but I have definitely been spammed. Several mails a week about gigs or promotions or what not. Whenever you go to the gig, they press you to go pro at every turn. It's very pushy and they offer nothing up front the way a reputable company does.

Tip for consumers:
The site sells you the promise of paid gigs but only if you sign up for their Pro version. Why do they bother having the standard version at all?
