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

hey, I received that email too and acted upon it. After faxing them my info, they sent me an application to fill out. Once I faxed that over, they sent me their phone number to try to contact them, but my calls will not go through, and they said they were trying to contact me by telephone, but my number was not working for them. Either way, I emailed them once again at wbstudios.inc@london.com with questions and they replied today. They said that after studying my resume, my application has been approved. But now they're asking for money for "hotel accomodations/travel expenses" and that all participants will receive a basic allowance of 105 pounds per week.
They say that in order to complete the application, the payment must be made. I have no idea what to do!
