| | |  Beware of phony HBP casting letters
Scammers are sending out letters promising casting auditions for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – for a fee. According to the U.K. paper The Huddersfield Daily Examiner: Quote:
Letters arrive on what appears to be official Warner Brothers stationery and say you have been chosen for a casting opportunity to appear in Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince.
It all sounds very exciting and genuine: and then they ask for £723 for acting tuition to coach you for the part which, of course, simply doesn't exist.
Constant vigilance, people. | |

That's a pretty horrible thing to do. I feel sorry for the people who recieve the letters and get all excited. *Sigh* The things people do for money.

That's awful! What a bunch of jerks. Why don't they go to school or get real jobs so that they won't have to stoop so low as to get poor, little, innocent children's hopes up just to have them shattered when they realize that they have been scammed by a bunch of low lives!
Yes Constant Vigilence, I agree KatieBell.  | |

That's such a horrid thing to do! And it's totally too soon for any HBP casting anyway.

wow, that's an awful thing to do. how can people live like that? they shud feel at least some guilt. but  they never do.
i hope people don't fall for it. at least i won't get ne of these letters as i don't live in london. but unbelievable. very wrong.
