Extra/Models wanted, that's the advertisement. This is in Australia (at the moment). They promise work but never deliver. I know of people who have signed 9 months ago and still no work. They get you to sign up and pay money to an other web site (Castings and Auditions), which i found out is there own site. $143AUD web hosting, you might say not that much but thats how they get you. They have hundreds of people on there site (www.showcasemanagemnet.com.Au), now thats i lot of money. They told me that there is work coming up as an Extra. Someone rung the other day to sign me up again. I asked them if there was any extra work coming up and she said NO, there is no movies in SA only commercials tht they do. Straight away i knew something was not right. The TV shows and Movies they say they have worked on, my friend has worked on, he has never heard of them. Today i was speaking to the so called owner and he told me that they only started up 5 months ago. The lady on the phone 2 mins before i spoke to the owner she said she had worked for 2yrs for them. I got an email for someone who signed up many months before who said Showcase was called BLACKBOX Managemnet 8 months ago but went belly up, but now SHOWCASE MANAGEMNET. On there web site they say have been operating for 30yrs. When i questioned this he said 'OH no, only a Few months.
I have rung other casting agents and they all said there never charge money only for photos been taken.
Some people out there just scam us for there own good. One day they will get theirs back big time...
Stay safe people. Look out for SCAMMERS.
