"Alex" hired me for an acting job. He sent me my check. The next day he told me I needed to withdraw the cash and deposit it into a bitcoin account from where I would use the money to purchase things necessary for the acting job. I followed the instructions and 2 days later the check was found to be fraudulent and he ran off with the cash from the bitcoin. So now I paid him a significant amount of my own money.

- Chicago, IL, USA

The initial application was posted to Backstage.com and included details to submit to the email provided. Upon emailing, they asked for headshots, a resume, and other details typical for actors to submit. I then received a confirmation email regarding payment. They are claiming to be casting for a Johnson and Johnson commercial. They also claim to transfer money to reimburse the actor for wardrobe, which is what truly tipped me off. The payment process is very confusing and I believe I would have been asked to send them money first.

Below is a letter my daughter received to participate in a commercial. She is a theater student in college and had sent out her resume information to several agencies, so their initial contact did not seem unusual. Upon reading the second email, several red flags jumped out - namely she was never offered an audition, the typos in the email, the need for her banking information, the need for her to purchase $4500 of clothing and the money offered. This seems to be an actual company in California, so I am not sure this even came from them directly... To me it screams fraud.
