If you mean Central Casting in Los Angeles/Burbank (they also have a branch in NYC), then yes.  I worked for them on and off for 5 years.  It's not a scam. I don't know what Talent6 is, I've never heard of them.

Here's how it works:  you go in to their open call day, fill out an application, pay them $20 and they take your picture.  They will hand you a booklet containing everything you need to know, including an 800 number.  They don't call you; you call THEM.  Call the 800 often and you will hear a recording of what they are looking for (ie: 25 year old females, with a professional wardrobe, 18 year olds who can play soccer, etc., etc).  When you hear something that you fit you call the number they leave.  When someone answers they will ask you for the last four digits of your social, which will pull up your picture in their computer. If thjey like you, they will book you.  

The non-union rate is $64 a day for any amount of time worked up to 8 hours.  After 8 hours you make time and a half, up to 12 hours.  After 12 is double time.  On average,  you will work about 12 hours.  You cannot leave whenever you want, you must stay until they release you.  It's not really flexible.  There is rarely work on the weekends or just in the evenings.  You must have the entire day to devote to them, because there is no telling how long you will be there.  I've worked for as short as two hours and as long as 17 hours.  

It can be grueling and exhausting, but it is almost always fun. :)
