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 theyve uncovered a scam.
Our members use our site not only because they know theyll get access to valuable casting opportunities, but also because they know our website is a safe environment thats 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 its 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, thats an immediate red flag.
The staff at Star Search Casting is very knowledgeable of scamming trends and its 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.

Many of these posts occur within 24-48 hours of the scams first appearance on the internet.

Its the only casting site that is both Hacker Safe and a member of the Better Business Bureau Online Reliability Program.
