Hey there people

I have received a most peculiar email. It purports to be from Warner Bros, and says that I have been 'selected to apply and participate as an "Act" in the induction, casting and making of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." '

It says that I must submit a formal application by 20th Sept, to include the following:
1.full names

2.Mailing address

3.Telphone /fax numbers

4.Recent photograph (scan and send via email)

5.Sex/nationality/marital status
As well as saying that travel arrangements will be arranged for me.

Has anyone else received one of these??? I haven't applied for anything at Warner, ever. I hadn't even been to their website, until I was trying to look them up to check if it was legit.

What do you guys think?? I don't reckon it is.

Thanks,
Jess

I received this too. I treated it as junk and deleted it. A few years ago exactly the same offer was made in a junk email by someone offering parts in the previous Harry Potter film. It didn't claim to be 'Warner Brothers' though. (Is the Harry Potter series actually a Warner Brothers effort?)


Why would a multimillion dollar movie studio be casting one of it's biggest sequel movies via random junk emails? Do they not think they're going to be swamped already by professional applicants? What's a few hundred thousand more arriving by random email from random countries?


Cheers,
Craig
