This guy named "Dave" who seems really professional is saying that I am "perfect" and my chances are "huge".  He wanted me to send him $288.75...I have researched for days about this.  The address on the contract does not exist. I google mapped it and its all fraud!!
Other numbers involved in this scam are as follows:
415-236-1424
415-259-4644
415-839-5456
415-839-8866

They claim to be people named Shawn Mitchell, Derek Rogers, Greg S, Jack Diamond, Kenny Bowser, Frank Romo, Patrick Morrison, and Stefanie Knott.

ALL FAKE AND SCAM!!

I am submitting an offical fraud report to my local FBI and hopefully something will get done about this.

I recieved a call only after I made an inquiry about the biggest looser show through NBC. That's I got a response from this guy saying they casting for 300 shows and I needed to send him photos so that he could take into a meeting with his casting crew. Has not asked for money as of yet. I just thought that I should look up where the number is from and found this page.. Thanks for putting this out their.

Hello all,


My name is Shawn Mitchell.  I'm the CEO of HNE Castings.  It never ceases to amaze me how people offer up opinions like they are fact.

Here are the facts:

HNE uses industry standard comp/talent cards to market individuals that they have selected or deemed a high percentage cast within the Reality TV genre.

HNE provides the creative work for these cards free of charge.

The client is responsible for the print production of these cards.  They have the option to outsource the prints on their end, or use a recommended print company by HNE.

HNE does not profit one cent from the print production of the cards.  They outsource the prints to a third party vendor.

HNE does not make a dime until they find work for their clients.  They receive a 15% commission on any income securing opportunities that they provide for their clients.

Therefore, if HNE does not provide their clients with work they LOOSE money!!!!!  If it was a scam, it would be the dumbest scam in the history of the world.

If your going to offer an opinion or answer someones question, at least have the decency to do your due diligence or have some knowledge in what you are talking about.  They say ignorance is bliss, but not when your ignorance affects others.

I'm always available to answer any inquiries one may have.

Sincerely,
