Recently, there has been an increase in fraudulent offers that can lead to the misuse of personal data.
Protect your data and your career!
Below are some key points to keep in mind:
1. It is unclear which production or company is involved
If it is not clear from the proposal who is producing the project, for what format, and in what context (film, TV series, commercial, audio),it iswise to proceed with caution.
We recommend searching for the company name on Google (e.g., company name + “scam”) and verifying its VAT number or registered office.
2. Communication is inconsistent
Please be aware if:
The text was clearly generated by AI
The communication comes across as chaotic or unprofessional
3. Do not provide sensitive personal information
During the casting phase, do not share:
copies of documents
social security number
address
banking information
4. There is no fee for the audition!
Professional casting does not require any registration or administrative fees.
Any request for payment is a red flag!
Be careful if the fee seems unrealistic or is listed in an unusual way.
Pay attention if the reward is:
disproportionately high
listed without reference to the scope of work
in unusual currencies without explanation
5. The contact address or email address seems suspicious
Generic or non-standard email addresses often do not match the typical communication patterns of film production companies, casting agencies, or other verified entities.
6. Verify the offers
We recommend:
search for a production or client in the registry
look up their previous projects (IMDb, ČSFD)
compare the information with standard industry practices
If you're not sure,please contact us and we’ll review the offer with you.
Attempts like this are part of a current trend.
Be cautious and don’t let yourself be pressured into taking hasty steps.
