i had filled out a thing to be an extra in the movies and then all of sudden my phone went off.
then i let it go into my voice mail and they said to press one and then one of our agents will be right with you. Hello and thank you for contacting casting three sixty. Not sure if they are liget or not.
If they ask for ANY kind of advance fee, but promise you a job - no. There is a scam going around where you pay money & get outdated casting ads, or pages out of 'Variety'. This scam isn't new.
Yes, this number 828-333-9312 called me also today 8/13/2014 from Casting 360. But I did sign up with them for being an extra in movies. There are movies being filmed in North Carolina.
They were posting on an online job board for movie extras. I clicked on the tab and filled out the short form (name, email, phone) then received this message

THANK YOU!

You will have to press 1 to be connected to the live agent
I did a search to find a HUGE number of scam complaints across the internet, including 110 with the BBB.
Immediately I began to receive calls from them...every 4 to 5 minutes. On the third call I pressed "1" and was connected to someone that spoke in a very heavy accent in broken English: "first time calling?" I told him not to call me again. "So, no want register?" No...take me off of your list. "first time call?"
Don't make the mistake....
