Casting Call for Paranormal Reality TV Show

Editor’s Note: According to the information we received, the Web site link is NOT supposed to work before noon Central time!

Hello, the web site is up and running now, sorry for the inconvience. ;^)

Everyone is fascinated with the unknown. I have noticed how there are several television shows now dedicated to ghost hunting. The world of the paranormal has no answers, only questions but it is fun to investigate those questions.

Harry Keane owner of PERISSION Entertainment a website from where he cons people into believing he has a multi million dollar corporation is a fraud. Harry was a extra which is a low level job. Basically anyone can get when they need a crowd to be in a background of a movie. He used that and created a portfolio to con people into investing in a company that is not there. Please check out Ripoff.com and http://www.laze.net/fait/archive/2003/05/16/ame... toward the last third of the comments. Also be advised if you look up you will see many so called reality shows he so called was hosting he has never got any of them on the air but has ripped off tons of people.

ok go check out both websites this person refers they dont exist. seams to me the person who wrote this has sour grapes about something. this is just outright lies by this person. mr keane is an honest person.

EXCUSE ME!! BUT MR. KEANE LIKE ANY OTHER BUSINESS MAN HAS TO GO THROUGH CRITICS, IF YOU DONT HAVE CRITICS THEN YOUR NOT REALLY SOMEONE TO WORRY ABOUT ARE YOU? SOUNDS LIKE TO ME MR. KEANE IS A GOOD BUSINESS MAN, I HAVE SEEN HIS WORKS, AND SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE ARE A SAD PERSON!! WHAT YOU WERE TURNED DOWN??

"MR" Keane is a scam artist at best. I lost thousands of dollars in time and money from his scams.

Harry Keane has lied and stolen from so many people. Its economics to him, if he rips them off for a few thousand $ - they won't take him to court. Then he goes and keeps going. This guy is the pink bunny rabbit con artist. - he goes on and on.

He lies, cheats and steals. He committed fraud. He has a wake of destruction behind him. Avoid him and Becky at all costs.

Harry's work sucks! He can't even get others to complete their work because he refuses to pay them.

After reading all of the comments posted. It appears that someone is using alias names and are coping and pasting the same old stories which are not true. I have researched the stories, talked to the DA, and he tells me that someone by Carol Malone called in the complaints and that Mr. Keane's attorney has forwarded to his office all the signed agreements that Carol Malone, Trish Fontaine and others have signed and find that Mr. Keane has done nothing wrong. Just because you loan or invest in something doesn't mean someone stolen from you. As I have talk to a few of you, it comes down to this. You either wanted out of your agreement, you breached your agreement, you say you were promised something and didn't get it, or you don't know what the hell your talking about. So here is my conclusion. As I have read the statements all over the internet each of you are full of it. Trying to destroy a company which some of you never even met the guy. Go figure to the best I hope that the lawsuit I saw Mr. Keane and his company are filing, that each of you are found and listed. And yes, I know Todd to claims to be a Christian( when in fact he told me he never wanted to talk to me again after I start figuring out what he is all about. When someone gets close and wants to know the truth he will get rid of you. Bill Wegner, claims to be a Christian but Christian would not do what he has done, and Scot Horwitz lets just say he is someone that has lied to me over and over. I talked to this Mr. Keane and I have the full scoop on that as well about all of you. You each need to look on what you have done before what you claim Mr. Keane has done because the underline is Mr. Keane was trying to help all of you and only on time did one of you say he owes me money but know its all over the net. I have seen the agreements Mr. Keane has forwarded them to me from all of you. I too will be researching each of you to find the scoop. And would you know it I just might stay as an alias and place all of your negative information out there as well to see how you handle it. But I am a Christian and Christians wouldn't do that. God Bless to each of you you all need to find the who God is and repent and ask for forgiveness of destroying a Christian man and his family.

Nice try Harry, both http://www.ripoffreport.com/Search/harry-keane.... and http://www.laze.net/fait/archive/2003/05/16/ame... to respond to these post when they are trying to pull cons on people. But I will post a few of the complaints they don't want you to see.
1) Ripoff.com
Mr. Keane is a well-known, successful business man who has enriched the communities he serves..." Really? Successes? Name one. One that is verified and documented.

Luckily, I never lost any money, but witnessed a dear friend waste a lot of time with Harry Keane. Here are the facts (if any sound familiar, and you are considering investing with this man, consult a lawyer first):

Early 2007
-hired a duo to play his restaurant (which required the tuning and delivery of a very costly piano).
-duo showed up to play after arranging the date and time with Harry two days prior. Duo shows up, but Harry's restaurant was closed (no phone call, no notice).
-After finally reaching Harry a couple of weeks later, Harry said he had Leukemia and had to close the restaurant!

Late 2007
-Harry wanted to sign a friend of ours and his band to a record contract, saying he could advance them $100,000 each. All they had to do was sign the contract.
-after they read the contract to our colleague, they noticed that Harry wanted to take out life insurance polices on each one of them! Deal was rejected.

Summer 2008
-Harry told the same buddy of ours he wanted to re-open the Garland Opry. Our friend checked it out, and it definitely looked like it was under construction (by someone...).
-Our buddy was asked by Harry to help hire the band, write part of the opening show (scheduled for around Dec 4th?) and to help launch the re-opening.
-our buddy asked for a proposal (this is where it actually gets comical):
-1) Harry said he needed our friend's email to send him the proposal/plan (the emailed proposal never came after waiting weeks).
-2) Harry said he must have gotten the email address wrong, and promised to resend.
-3) After a few more weeks, Harry said that he was sorry he hadn't sent the proposal because his mother was dying of cancer.
-4) After he asked for the proposal again, he ever heard from Harry after that.


Caveat Emptor, my friends.
If this guy is the "next biggest thing", it sure is taking him long. And I would think twice before I donated to his "Garland Opry Pay Pal account"... sounds more like a donation to his vacation fund.

these are just two of hundreds of complaints. Also Harry has coned dozen of people out of money saying he is doing the latest reality shows none have ever been filmed or air? Oh that's right your nothing in Hollywood not a Director, Producer or even an actor your only glimpse of fame? He was a hourly extra on some shows. Stay away from this phony, also please check these sites they are loaded with material from people on this rip off artist.

ok why do people pick on poor harry? i can tell it was harry who responded above and tried to cover things. I have seen the ripoffreport.com listings on him. can't you give him another chance? i do think these people need to keep this stuff in mind that is on that site but maybe they are all mistaken too right?

Okay now I am getting concerned. I live here and am wondering if we are going to get ripped off now? Someone should be checking into these things that are being said about Mr. Keane.

Found the problem it's ripoffreport.com found this it opened my eyes;
he only artist that Harry Keane is, is a CON ARTIST. He is nothing more than a scam.

After he ripped me off on an entertainment deal, I began researching and investigating him and his past.

First, how he ripped me off. He came to me as a "big shot" producer, race car driver, movie director, TV writer, blah, blah, blah, he was looking for an investor for a new project. He presented these elaborate proposals. Very well written and very convincing. He spoke with a silver tongue. As soon as I mentioned that my relative was a singer, he was all over me telling me how he wrote American Idol and it was stolen from him, blah, blah, blah.

Needless to say, I gave him money and he promised the world. he delivered on nothing and just took my money and ran. He put up a good front and made it look like things were happening, but in reality, he just lived off my money.

After he avoided my calls for several weeks, I called my attorney. Harry never responded to either of our calls or letters.

Then his office closed. I was told he was kicked out for nonpayment of rent. That's when I grew more nervous and realized I was ripped off.

On with the investigation. Between myself, a detective friend of mine and my lawyers office, we found that Harry left a trail of bad deals, lies, and scams in his wake.

BEWARE. Here is his M.O. He contacts you through a friend, church, neighbor, internet posting, athletic event. Then he talks his talk. He sets the bait. He talks about making MILLIONS of dollars and how you can capitalize on his venture. It is always "bigger than life". He smells money and will come at anyone who he feels he can con. Once he gets your interest, he comes up with fantastic written proposals and has a CPA and lawyer. He cons them too! Then the bait is set. You pay him, invest in him and this unbelievable opportunity. YOU ARE HOOKED.

He talks about all this experience. Well, I found out the truth through all the lies. He was the Director of a movie. B rated movie. Turns out, he ripped off the producers (money men and investors), ripped off the actors, ripped off the production and editing companies. You name it, they got ripped off. Why wasn't he sued? The contracts had fast talking small print that let "him" off the hook. So basically, he made a living from the salary he got to "film" this movie.

Next, he moved into the music world and scam several entertainers out of money by telling them he was a record producer. Came up with a slick web site and took their money. He would tell them that they had to put money up for him to produce their CD's. Hooked more poor singers than I care to talk about.

Then Harry became a well known race care driver and scammed businesses and individuals by having them sponsor his "NASCAR". To try and keep honest, he would start a few races, but the "car" always broke down. In other words, another brilliant lie and scam to live off other people. His sponsors (victims) included NON-Profit organizations and businesses. How sad is that?

When the heat got too much, he "sold out" and went into the "Radio" business. This time Keane's scam was to tell people that he had a radio station and needed sponsors and advertisers. He stated that he was already online with his station and had several "on air" stations in other cities. He talked about his antenna's and this huge broadcast range. All the while, he spent $49 dollars, created a web site and had an online radio web site LINKED to another online radio site. He felt it was ok to tell this huge lies because he did in fact have the online junk.

When that fell through, he went into the restaurant business. Telling everyone he owned a chicken wings place. Again, looking for a sucker to invest. Seems he rented an closed wings business and opened it for a few months, took the money and ran.

Next was a 5 star italian restaurant in Plano. Same M.O. It was a fully stocked restaurant that went under. Keane spoke to the building owner and struck a "deal". For several months he made money from the place, but burned the owner of the building. Scammed more "investors" and ran away as the only one making money.

Just before this and during this time, he had this "Turn Up The Mic" TV show that he just signed an * million dollar deal with ABC to air. Again scamming singers into sending him "entrance fees" for this new talent show produced by the "original creator" of American Idol. All of these "contestants" lost their money, because their was no show, no deal with ABC, just a nifty web site and a bunch of out right lies.

Do not let me get started on the American Idol scam. I was informed that he and a relative came up with this scam together. Keane pushed hard and thought that he could convince a judge that he actually sent documents on his creation to the REAL creators of Idol and they stole it from him. They judge saw through it and awarded Fox $160K in damages. Yet, he still walks around telling that lie.

I have seen Keane on many investor sites looking to scam the next person. I understand that he is now involved with another "investor" in Garland and is building a theater to house the Garland Opry. Poor "investor". Keane will for sure rip him off as well.

Just BEWARE. Keane has no education. No training and no REAL experience. He lies and cons his way. He threatens lawsuits in every breath, again looking for a way to make MILLIONS. From his words to my ears, he said he has never worked for anyone. Always looking for a way to make a fast buck.

Final advise, Harry Keane is a REAL CON MAN. For whatever reason, he has not been arrested or prosecuted because of some loop hole or his fast talk. He will even put an attorney on you and threaten lawsuits if you speak too loud. Well, this is going to stop. BEWARE OF HARRY KEANE. If you get involved with him, he will rip you off. I found he has been doing this for 20 years. Save your money. He preys on your dreams and makes you think he will make you rich and famous. Just remember nothing comes free and NOTHING comes easy, but he will fast talk you to believe everything he says. So, if you hear his name, run in the other direction or he WILL HOOK you.

What is going on here? has anyone bothered to do a background check?

So which hundred comments do you think are a mistake? How many second chances has he had? He has no experience in film or paranormal investigation. If he really wanted a second chance here how you start... PAY BACK THE MONEY YOU RIPPED OFF AND STOP CLAIMING YOU ARE A HOLLYWOOD FILM MAKER. ALSO YOU HAVE TONS OF REALITY SHOW POST AND NOT ONE SHOW WAS MADE IF IT WAS PLEASE SHOW US AND WHAT CHANNEL IT AIRED?

well that makes sense, can't argue about what you said. Who is making sure all this is real and not setting us up to be taken to the cleaners? my kids are interesting in this, so maybe for no other reason this all needs to be checked out and looked into

Hey check this out I just found it..http://www.g-cops.com/JasBlog.html it basically says he ripped off this whole idea.

t deeply sadens me to see this guy go after kids. he is indeed a scam. and has taken a lot of people for a lot of money. I am one of them.
please before anyone gets in to anything this guy is a part of please do you’re home work on him.
he makes a living off of taken others for there money. Rip off report will tell you all you need to know about harry keane. and the rebuttles are from him.
he has had 4 wilfs and contles companys.
I have talked to father chris about him and have let him know what he did not just to me but so many others as well.

Another Christian group Harry and mostly Becky are using to promote their con game.

That was in reference to another reality showcon on his site, it will be aired where????

Well I am a mother too so agree that this should all be investigated to make sure everything is on the up and up. We were planning on doign this but i am not so sure now.

I had a similar ordeal so I would say complain to your towns officials,and or mayor and governor. Also make a report to the police department and have him investigated by the authorities. Also have Perission the film company investigated see if any of these projects have been aired public like on a channel or internet television. I would also find where this studio is? I bet you will find out it's a computer in a one bedroom apartment building or a rented office.

I think they are mixing my conversion with another fellows? I am just responding to the other person who is actually revealing this info. Anyway, I would also contact all these blogs promoting this person to cease giving him coverage if what is alleged is true. Which from the multiple sites and comments I have no doubt is, he needs to be given a boot off the internet and state. I couldn't help but laugh at this person as I just looked at his resume definable ridiculous and false in my opinion.

ok i did a bit of research and so far, including the rip off report stuff i went and read, there is also the question of the america's next girl thing (?). like what ever happened to it. they said there was a lot of response and yet it just went away so i would be looking into that to see what is up because it just seems like that was wrong to put that on and then it just goes away and yet they said it was getting and big response. so something just doesn't seem right here. Is anyone out there from tx that knows anything? we are over here so maybe someone who is in tx can shed some light

I am from Texas and I know Harry Keane, what I have witness is he is a con man nothing more. He used the American idol to launch a career in film which never was. He was a extra in a few things a job anyone could do and thousand do everyday because they like being in film, it doesn't pay more than $75 a day but saps like Harry think they will be discovered. Unfortunately Harry hasn't either appeal or talent. He did devise the idea to scam people from it, he took a lot of pictures to create the illusion he actually worked in film. He has had several dozen so called reality shows but unfortunately all of them are con's to take peoples money. He is in your area because Texas has several dozen fraud cases against him. He believes people will be fascinated by Hollywood that nobody will ask questions like if he is legit? Where is your reel and budget for this film? etc? I am sorry for you and your town you probably had good attentions but this creep feeds on people like you. His accomplice Becky Purcell is just as bad, she goes to churches or public settings and con's people into meeting Harry, she isn't a Christian is neither is Harry. They are con's and that is all they are. Rip Off Report.com and Laze.net are only two sites their are many more. Now he is on this paranormal venture as if he knew anything about it. What he does is feeds of peoples goodness and finds people who always wanted to be in films. I think when he originally got into Hollywood no doubt he thought he was going to be a big star but the problem is he a pathological liar, has no training in film or business as you see from his writings the man can write or spell. Another phony lie is he has a degree please call the college and ask for his references. Harry can't defend his position anymore he has no talent and never has, with the internet people are asking for evidence and he hasn't any.

from Laze.net
Oh, and if you dealing with Harry Keane, here's some tell tales of what to look for...He is always promising he will have contracts to you almost on a daily bases. He will call you an hour or so before the deadline (if you are lucky) and say...My friend was just hit by car and is now in a coma...My mom is dying...My kids are sick...and a million other (emergencies). I have this all on recording. Unlike most people, I record all business conversations and keep copies of all emails, including personal IM's and conference meetings. These recordings can be heard shortly. I will post when they are all up and running on the website. Something good did come of this scammer..I have a strong family due to his lies and deceit. We have created our own company through the tears and hard work. We are producing our shows ourselves with REAL agents and production companies that actually know TV. Stay away from this jerk. He has stolen 7,000 since February-March. Be careful people.

from laze.net
I know this piece of human waste product as well! He promised me and my NEW family the world, only to serve it on a plate of crap! Then, when you think you are finally rid of him, he keeps coming back,like a case of gonorhhea or something! He threatens people with lawsuits he could not
possibly win (as do most people ignorant of the
law)and tries to get the people he is up against to turn on each other by spreading lies about them! Well, I have news for this self-called
Christian, he chose the wrong people to mess with this time! He is a fake, and a fraud, and we intend to sue the crap out of him and shout it from the mountaintops!!!! I hope you rot in jail Harry Keane Jr. and I feel extremely sorry for the children you have (You remember them don't you? The ones you tell people you send to private school, and are a soccer coach for?????)! I say they will be much better off when you are in prison where you belong! I hope you have a nice big cell-mate named Bubba to keep you company and make you "Sqeeeeel like" the pig you really are!

from laze.net
Harry Keane Jr is a scam artist. He stole 2 companies from 3 partners of those companies and is now facing a class action lawsuit. He is now making claims that he created Hunter Vs Hunter, when it was my team that put it together. I have documented proof that he was nowhere near this idea for almost a year. The other scam artist partner of his is Patricia Fontane and Becky Purcell. These people are sick. They claim to be devoted Christians yet lie worse than any people I have ever met in my entire life and I have met many bad liars in my lifetime. But this guy takes the cake! He has forged attorney's signatures..He claims he has 26 attorney's on his board of directors but yet he will download documents from the net and just get his agreements notarized rather than signed by a real attorney. We looked up one of the attorney's he claimed that signed some documents and found that the attorney had no idea who he was and that this is the 4Th time he has used his name on documents and asked us for a copy (which was sent over right away). This man is a fraud. He also has another company called Twister Records & Nu-Vista Studios, that he and his brother operates. He is a scam. That's all there is to it and now he is hitting the paranormal community and now making claims he has 6 years experience as an investigator yet he didn't even know what Night Vision was until he asked us about it. He is a very sick individual with many cases against him. He has settled out of court 4 times now on fraud cases. We will not settle! We will make sure this is purely public so that it doesn't happen to someone else. This case has 12 individuals against Harry Keane Jr. He will pay for his crimes this time! We are personally suing him for everything he has done to us since June. You can follow our trials on www.g-cops.com and on YouTube. We will make sure that this is completely public since he enjoys the limelight so much. Be safe everyone, and get a full background check on anyone you come in contact with in the entertainment industry. He's just one of many!

You might ask why would he con people?

The federal 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that a judge’s dismissal of Harry Keane’s claim that he invented American Idol was proper. The judge ruled in 2003 that Keane shopped his idea for the show around so broadly – even posting it on a Web site – that he had no trade secret to protect. The judge also ordered Keane to pay Fox television’s $130,000 legal bill.

He lost the suit, the Judge saw through his lies. Harry has no talent and what is sad is when this is all over he is just a guy who never did a thing in Hollywood. That hurts him more than anything else, that he is a nobody not even a has been a never been.

I just checked out the Perission so called studio it's a small single level bldg that leases out small offices. HAHAHAHAHAHAAH this guy is hysterical...

wait until you hear what Harry did to 1st Class Kids. www.1stClassKids.org This non-profit which is against family violence abuse and neglect got burned by Harry. Harry took thousands from children and broke all promises to repay.
