Watch Out for Scams

There are a lot of terrible people out there who try to scam you out of money. Here's a couple of tips on how to watch out for scams and when to expect them.

First of all, be wary that whenever someone contacts you out of the blue, there is a big chance that it is a scam. Look at the wording in emails. Professionals will usually have proper capitalization and will be freely willing to give you their phone number so you can call them. Scam artists won't.

Another important thing to watch out for is craigslist ads. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Also know that no legitimate company should charge you to act or join their agency. They need you for continuing the growth of their business, so they will want you to join them without having you pay. Why should you pay them to work for them?

The last main thing to watch for is if a company says you need to get headshots from them. No legitimate company does this, they expect you to find headshots on your own. Also be wary if they invite you to an audition without even asking for a headshot or resume.

Watch out for scams!
