So I just got off the phone with an adult film recruitment company - I replied to a random Craigslist ad a couple of months back out of curiosity as being in a film is something I've always wanted to try.

Anyway, after chatting for a bit it inevitably came to her asking for £250 for marketing costs to host my details with them. This obviously got alarm bells ringing!

2 reasons I thought scam:

1) Thier website, whilst professional looking, contains no links or mentions to the production companies they work with. Just why keen performers should sign up.

2) As a recruitment agency, which is effectively what they are, should they not be getting their fees from the production company and not the talent?

Obviously I said I'd think and let it at that, but I thought I'd shout out to see people's thoughts, and also to highlight a potential scam others may get embroiled in. What you reckon?

Can't believe you feel you need advice! If you are that desperate to dispose of £250, then send it to me. I'm always broke, and you will get the same for your money..........nothing!

Adult film recruitment company?

I'm pretty sure the film companies themselves will get plenty of 'cv's' from prospective startlets so I would definitely call scam!

Don't worry, I more than figured it was so such, and have intention of handing them a penny. Was just curious to see if others had had similar dealings.

I know a sales pitch when I hear one.

I've a motion there's a law, a proper statute, banning recruitment agencies, however they tart it up, taking money to find people work.

Tell your local trading standards dept.

I am sad to say I was caught out with this scam, stupid I know took me for £600. They promised me that I was ideal candidate, sent photos of myself etc. They even had the noise of busy phone calls in the background. I was so stupid just wanted to make some money for Christmas n pay off my bills etc. They said I needed a licence for European work n I fell for it hook line n sinker. Yep I was a complete fool, learnt a hard lesson.
