Is is real or a scam

I found a agency for actors phoned them up the girl said actors can get £800-1200 per film but then she said there’s a fee of £400 I’d need to transfer Iv not done anything Iv done some research they have a website but Iv read that genuine agencies won’t ask for money transfers they only get paid when you do and other sites say there is a fee which is it ?

Yeah that's a classic scam. They charge you a lot of money but they make it sound like just a little by saying you'll get paid even more... and you never do.

@SinlessOnslaught I thought so there are on companies house and have a website but it sounded dodgy

@Mattbennet I didn't catch that.

@SinlessOnslaught there on the U.K. official business website called companies house with a registered number but the £ 400 fee sounds iffy

@Mattbennet Oh okay. I'm not familiar with companies house.

Mattbennet · 51-55, M

@SinlessOnslaught oh ok Yh I’m where U.K. businesses are registered

Mattbennet · 51-55, M

@SinlessOnslaught yeah she said I’d be paid cash hmm sounds iffy

@SinlessOnslaught exactly. It's so common it's got a name: advanced fee fraud. And you can find that fraud being played it all kinds of industries: financial services, employment services, even Nigerian princes

@Mattbennet Yeah that's really suspicious. I'm not in the acting business but what you said about them not getting paid until you do, sounds like a more legit method.

@Mattbennet Any one can register a business at Companies House but it doesn’t mean the business is run in a proper and professional manner.
