Received a call and a text from this number asking to call back regarding a casting.
i called back, and a lady with a very gruff sounding voice said hello, and then asked if i was working with a manager or with an agent. i'm not, and said no. she then she continued with the conversation. she asked if i wanted to come to a casting tomorrow at 1:15pm. I said what is this for? and she said i dont know, i'm just the answering service. i said ok, where is the location? she said 42nd and Madison, and then quickly asked if i'd be coming. i said no i dont think so if you can't tell me what the casting is for. and then before i was finished talking she asked my age--- and i said, again what ad did i apply for and then she rudely hung up mid sentence.
I got a call and text asking me to call back about a casting call. Lady with deep voice answered and asked me if I was represented and I said no. She asked me to come in the next day to 315 Madison Room 901. She then texted me to confirm the next morning (which is weird... A text?) and I asked her to remind me what agency I'd be meeting with and she just said "casting". I asked again what agency because I'm uncomfortable showing up with no information (bc I think this came from a craigslist ad) and she just replied "Casting its for fashion nice building don't be paranoid". I'm getting the heevy jeevies... It makes me think it's some scam or something more dangerous? I cant find any information on the location... So I'm assuming it's being rented out for whatever today.
Similar story as the others. I thought it was strange that I was getting a response to a casting call by text at 10 pm on a sunday night. I looked up the phone number on the web and saw these other stories. I called the number this morning, she asked if I had an agent or manager, and when I said I did but started to explain, she hung up on me before I even finished my sentence. Clearly a scam. Beware.
Same thing happened to me. She's acting like the liaison between a model casting agency and us. I asked her what agency, and she said Model Castings. Doesn't exist. Scam scam scam. And I have no idea how she got my phone number.
