| | | 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. |

| Not only is that against the law, it's humanly cruel. I mean, getting the hopes up of many people both young and old and then they find out that they were scammed.
Horrendous, I'm telling you. Always verify things before you comply to them!

| ♥ Mrs. Itachi Uchiha™ & MAJNOO! : Bleach & Kyo & Natsume ♥ [ Maxh!Jesh ] How pathetic. These people should stop fooling around and get a real life. They shouldn't play with others' dreams and ambitions. What a shock it would be for someone who doesn't realize it's a trick. *ish angry* I hope they're caught and taught a good lesson. Seriously – These people need to go to school, get some education and then work hard to get money by fair means.

723 pounds?? Jeez, you must be really desperate to fall for that one...
The second you actually have to pay, a bell should be ringing in your head telling you it's a scam...
