Scammers have been posting fake ads in craigslist claiming to offer jobs for extras (background players) in movies. When you call this number, you are directed to one of two websites that charge for what turn out to be outdated casting lists.
They really just want you to sign up (with your credit card) for $1.99 for one week, then the auto-renew of $39 a month.

Casting360.com and Talent6.com are the same company, and both are a well known advance fee job scam. There are literally hundreds of online complaints and as many Better Business Bureau complaints.

The Los Angeles BBB as well as the National BBB give Casting360 and Talent6 an "F" rating. The LA BBB actually calls Talent6 a scam on the main website.

Casting360 and Talent6 are operated out of Moldova, a small former Soviet republic known today as a haven for credit card and identity theft.  Though Talent6 has a small administrative office in the US to comply with US incorporation rules, 100% of the operation is in Moldova, including the "Casting Agent" you spoke with.

In May 2010, Talent6 aka Casting360 was fined by the San Mateo, CA District Attorney $45,000 for false advertising, misleading ads and fraud.

You do not need to pay money to work as an extra or to access casting lists!

Want to know how old this scam is? Years ago they placed ad's for movie extras. You paid & they mailed you the 'help wanted' section out of 'Variety'. It's an oldie.

They are getting smarter,  placing ads on indeed. Come claiming to be big named company like redbull. Looking for laborers and warehouse associates.  When you call they ask if you want to be a model or actor.  No,  I'm an equipment operator!
