Press
Release Body: Hollywood, California - As the number of scams targeting
aspiring actors, singers, dancers and models escalate, and scammers
become more sophisticated in their methods, it can be tricky to
identify the difference between a scam and a legitimate opportunity.
In response to the growing number of internet scam victims, Star
Search Casting ( www.StarSearchCasting.com
), in addition to becoming the number one casting website, has
also become the leading provider of up-to-date information on
the latest industry scams. Star Search Casting
educates users on how to spot a scam; actively monitors all site
activity to prevent members from becoming the victim of popular
internet scams; and encourages members to report suspicious activities
and warn others if they’ve uncovered a scam.
“Our
members use our site not only because they know they’ll
get access to valuable casting opportunities, but also because
they know our website is a safe environment that’s actively
monitored to prevent scammers from taking advantage of them,”
says Jonathan Parker, CEO of Star Search Casting.
“In addition to making sure that the site is safe, we
also try to educate our members on how to spot a scam. Many internet
users think that if a site or service charges money that it’s
automatically a scam, but this is one of the most misleading pieces
of advice circulating the web. More accurately, if the site or
service asks for money but only accepts cash or money orders,
that’s an immediate red flag.”
The
staff at Star Search Casting is very knowledgeable
of scamming trends and it’s this knowledge that helps to
keep the site and its members safe. Star Search Casting
staff members regularly and routinely updates its members on the
latest industry scams. When members log in to their website, the
Entertainment Scam Alert section provides instant updates
on the most recent scammer activity targeting aspiring actors,
dancers, models and actors. Additionally Star Search Casting
staff members post information about these scams in the site's
forums to make sure members are informed and aware of potential
scams. Many of these posts occur within 24-48 hours of the scam’s
first appearance on the internet.
Star
Search Casting has always taken vast measures to ensure
the safety of its site. It’s the only casting site that
is both Hacker Safe and a member of the Better Business
Bureau Online Reliability Program. In response to escalating
internet scams, the staff at Star Search Casting
monitors all of the messages on the site regularly to ensure the
safety of its members. Additionally when members access their
messages, Star Search Casting provides their
members with an option at the top of each message to flag the
message if they encounter spam or abuse.
Star
Search Casting members also work to keep the site safe,
and to keep fellow members from falling victim to internet scams.
Star Search Casting members are encouraged to
post information about scams in the site’s forums if they
encounter a scam or have become the victim of a scam. The forums
are also a great way for members to learn more information about
how to spot and avoid popular scams & frauds.

of these measures combined help to combat over 90% of scam attempts
