In the entertainment and creative industries, opportunities move fast — but so do scams. As more productions, casting calls, and influencer projects go online, the risk of fraudulent listings has increased across the entire industry.
At Project Casting, we take these risks seriously.
The safety, security, and trust of our community are our top priorities. Our mission is simple: to make sure every opportunity shared on Project Casting is authentic, verified, and safe for both talent and employers.
That’s why we’ve implemented strong systems to detect, prevent, and respond to fraudulent behavior — and we continue to strengthen those systems every day.
Responding Swiftly to Fraudulent Activity
When it comes to user protection, we act fast.
Recently, we identified a fraudulent posting titled “$6,000 Bright Smiles 2026 – Minute Maid Campaign.”
The individual behind this listing violated our Terms of Service and misused the Job Invite Email feature before full moderation was in place.
As soon as our team detected the issue, we:
- Immediately removed the account and permanently banned the user from Project Casting.
- Alerted all affected users to ensure no further communication occurred.
- Updated our internal systems to monitor job invites in real time and prevent future misuse.
This incident served as a valuable reminder of why proactive monitoring and community reporting are so important — and we acted decisively to strengthen both.
We also continue to report verified fraudulent behavior to our partners and relevant authorities, including:
- The FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
- Other online safety and law enforcement agencies
These collaborative efforts help us protect users not only on Project Casting, but across the larger digital entertainment ecosystem.
How We Prevent Fraud Before It Happens
Beyond reacting to fraud, our focus is on prevention — building trust into the core of every feature we develop.
Here’s how we’re keeping Project Casting secure:
- Verified Companies Only: Employers must complete verification before posting jobs or messaging talent.
- Active Moderation: Every job listing and user submission is reviewed for potential red flags.
- Authenticity Checks: Both companies and professionals are reviewed before their listings go live.
- Automated Fraud Detection: Our system monitors for unusual activity patterns or suspicious communication behavior.
Together, these measures ensure that the opportunities you see on Project Casting are real, relevant, and trustworthy.
