How to Avoid Fake Casting Calls

At Modelwox, we care about your safety. Here are some tips to help you identify and stay away from fake or fraudulent casting calls:

• 1. Never Pay to Apply: Legitimate casting calls do not require application fees, upfront payments, or “registration charges.”
• 2. Check the Contact Info: Be cautious if the email or phone number seems unprofessional (like a Gmail address instead of a company domain).
• 3. Do Your Research: Google the company or recruiter. Check reviews, social media pages, and official websites for legitimacy.
• 4. Avoid Private Hotel or Apartment Meetings: Castings should happen in public studios or verified office spaces, not in someone’s home or hotel room without prior vetting.
• 5. Look Out for Vague Job Descriptions: Scammers often use generic terms like “international shoot” or “top brand” without naming any actual company.
• 6. Watch for Pressure Tactics: Scammers may rush you to commit or ask for urgent responses. Real professionals will give you time to think.
• 7. Keep Communications on Platform: If you're contacted through Modelwox, try to keep chat within our platform until the offer is confirmed.
• 8. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, it probably is. Always talk to someone you trust before taking any action.
