Currently received a phone call from this number and the man said that he was from HNE reality and wanted me to pay 300 dollars. Possible scam.

I was contacted by this number from a gentleman calling himself "Randy Walker".  We talked for a while on the phone about Survivor and other reality shows, then he mentioned needing $300 for "cards" or a "profile on their website" or something of that nature.  He said that I should send him some images of myself that included headshots and full length compositions.  I love the Show/Game Survivor and my desire to be on the show almost overwhelmed my "common sense compass".  I thought that if I gave them the $300 and it was a scam at least I was trying something rather than just "wishing" for luck and going through the normal application/audition tape avenues.  I've lived in LA for 9 years and through those years learned that anyone asking for money upfront is usually running a scam.  Ive been scammed, years ago, because I was so ambitious that I just "wanted to believe" what was being said was real... the possibility was intoxicating and it guided my decision.  These types of scams prey on that raw emotion to over ride what should normally be very easily detected as fraud.  For those wondering why they have not been stopped???   Remember that Bernard Lawrence "Bernie" Madoff was running a scam that cost investors over 16billion dollars for over 10 years and it took the Stock Market Crash of Oct. 2008 for everyone to see what he had actually done even though Harry Markopolos reported, what he believed to be a scam, as far back as 1999 and 2001 to the SEC.  16 billion is a sh*t load of money... HNE Reality by no means is "raking" that kind of cash... so if it took nearly 10 years and the US economy to crash to see that Madoff was scamming billions then HNE Reality may never be caught or held accountable for the measly thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars its scamming from people... but non-the-less it's most likely a scam.  
In the fall of 2001 I was cast on "The 5th Wheel" and "Blind Date", yes I know very Cheese...anyway I never paid anyone to audition for those shows. I was contacted directly by the shows contracted Casting People to come in for an "on tape audition"... I went, filled out their book of paper work and questions,  auditioned and later got a call to be on the show. I was Paid $100 for each show, that's it.  
If there is a legit company that helps to cast shows like survivor... well Id like to know so I can send my application their way.  thanks barry wayne  Los Angeles CA  barrywaynephoto.com

I applied online for HNE reality off of the CBS website which is the channel that hosts Big Brother. I'm hoping this isn't a scam..but I haven't paid anything yet.

I got a call yesterday from a guy named Randy Walker. He told me I was to send 3 head shots and 3 body shots because they were going through deliberation this morning. I thought this could be to good to be true. He hasn't got back to me yet, but i'm pretty sure its a scam. Because a guy from my city got the same call asking him for $315.00. This Randy guy also asked me for $315.00 if I get selected. He also asked me questions like if i'd ever wanna be on Deal or no Deal, survivor and other reality shows. He also said I would make at least 30-50,000 dollars within a years contract with them. He hasn't got back to me yet but he said he would call in a few days. Pretty sure its a scam!
