Happy to see you were heads up enough to suspect it was a scam!. You're right, flip a coin!. Heads you don't go, tails you stay home!. It is DEFINITELY a scam! My compliments to you for being smart enough to ask!. You should do well for yourself!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
You could go!. But they are going to try to sell you really expensive acting lessons claiming that they have ties to a whole bunch of companies that they actually do not have!. Anyone who takes money from you for this type of thing is not legit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
There's this agency called John Robert Powers that is INFAMOUS for scamming young actors, and they often do their little "casting calls" in public malls!.
I wouldn't do it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Yup its a scam !. Dont even go there, you will avoid a possible rape !.Www@QuestionHome@Com
its probably to sign you with some acting school, maybe John Robert Powers!. I dunno if i were u i'd check it out tho!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Listen, it never hurts to explore an opportunity so long as it feels safe!. By that I mean, you do have to be careful, but if you met someone at a stand in the mall, well, it's definitely not a porn monger trying to trick you into something that you never want!. Still, it doesn't mean it's legit, if you came across it at the mall, they are most likely trying to make money off of you!. So, if you go, you'll probably encounter something where they stroke you like crazy, tell you how great you are, and then ask you for $1400 for head shots to get you started!. And yes, that would be a scam by the way!. The point is, getting scammed can be fun! I mean, go get scammed, just don't pay anything for it!. Some other sucker is gonna pay for the scam, but what the hell are you doing today!. Get out, look at it, judge it, learn from it!. It's harmless, just don't pay anything!. Here's a good rule of thumb!. If someone tells you that you got it, but they want you to pay, it's a scam!. Even the top models don't pay for their head shots, these things are provided as investment, and that's when you know you're in the game!. Best of luck, girl!.!.!.
Oh yeah, one more thing, find peer groups of your same interest!. I'm a musician, so I go to open mics to play music!. I meet people, I network, I make friends, I get put on gigs, etc etc!. Find these types of things, and you'll be guided properly!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
