Answered ad on CL for wedding videographer. Recieved emails from Jay Sheehan, Hiring Manager CINEMA STAFFING. They seemed automated but I was sent a deposit for $96 on Paypal. They wanted to hire me for 2 weddings but luckily I wasn't available for a second one. I showed up at the church and there was another video crew there! This couple were deadbeats:

Called & emailed repeatedly but never heard back & never got paid.
I answered a CraigsList ad by a Las Vegas company looking for a wedding photographer in Central Texas. I signed a contract with Cinema Staffing for the job, fulfilled all of its requirements, delivered the images, and was never paid. This is apparently a large and ongoing scam.
This is a WIDE SCALE scam involving grooms, brides & videographers. Film Monkey/Cinema Staffing scammed me out of $340.00 at the very least. They owe me for videography services rendered for filming a wedding on May 28th, 2017 for them.
