I received an email stating this company found me on IMDB and they wanted to represent me. Nice right... Well, there was no name or phone numer in the email. I responded asking who I am communicating with and visited their website. There are no names on the website either. I thought it could be a manager that I fired or one other person that I know to be a scam. I followed my gut and with further investigation I discovered it is a scam. Yes, I am an actor looking for representation, but not falling for a scam.I get work every week as an actor and do not need to spend time with people playing games or looking for money like this.
This guy who calls himself Dan, contacts you via email telling you that they're a new management company and they found you on IMDb and they want to set up a phone interview with you. He calls from a blocked number and asks you all sorts of questions to ' see what kind of personality you are' and tells you it's ok that you don't have enough experience but he loves your personality and he might give you a chance. And you're lucky he's contacted you because they only represent 12 clients. He sounds very polite, chipper and upbeat. Problem is that I remembered him from 6-7 months ago when he contacted me regards the music video casting I applied to. Same story. Oh wow you have such a nice personality, I really like you, you remind me of my friend and I'm willing to give you a chance. Next step is a fave to face meeting at Starbucks. Which is followed by invitation to his place. Of course there's name dropping and promises. Girls, don't fall for it!! There's no shortcuts!!
