How to Report Suspicious Casting Calls

Posted on July 31, 2025

In the world of entertainment, opportunities knock often—but not all are genuine. Most of the time it becomes difficult to identify such face opportunities and suspicious offers. These fake offers not only exploit dreams but sometime leads to serious personal and financial risks.

CastYou, ranked among the top 3 digital casting agencies in India, is committed to creating a safe and transparent casting environment for aspiring talent. Whether you’re a fresh face or an experienced talent, here’s how you can identify and report suspicious casting calls effectively.

What Are Suspicious Casting Calls?

Suspicious or fake casting calls often:

• Promise unusually high pay for very little work
• Lack verified contact details or official company email addresses
• Ask for payment upfront for auditions, registration, or portfolios
• Demand personal or inappropriate information
• Offer vague project details or avoid answering your questions

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

How to Identify a Legitimate Casting Call

Before you respond to any casting opportunity:

1. Check the Source: Is it from a verified casting platform like CastYou or one of the best modelling agencies in Chennai, Mumbai, or Delhi?
2. Look for Transparency: Legitimate casting calls clearly mention production house names, audition dates, and shoot locations.
3. Avoid Upfront Payments: No professional casting agency will ask you to pay to audition.
4. Review the Language and Tone: Scam calls often use informal language, spelling errors, or pressure tactics like “last chance today!”

• Only verified casting professionals can post opportunities

Steps to Report a Suspicious Casting Call

If you come across a questionable opportunity, take these steps immediately:

3. Report to CastYou: Send us the details via our app or email ([email protected]).
