Creepy Scum

SO.....last semester (sometime in the spring) I was searching craig list for new ways to earn a little money when I came across an ad looking for extras. In the city, this is the norm because there is always a movie or TV show being filmed. So i figured it couldn't hurt and the guy seemed to be a legitimate agent but that wasn't so.

I went 2 the interview one day with two of my girls and when we got there the place didn't look to shabby..that's until we got to the actual office. IT was a small little area and we had to sign in with this woman who just looked raggedy and ghetto. She had on a shirt too small for her size (she was quite hefty) , BIG bamboo earrings, and these long colorful nails. She gave us a clip board to sign in and told us to wait in the next room which was more like closet. We didn't know what we were in for but we started getting nervous. When the guy let us in he wanted to see us one by one but we told him we wanted to go in together. Weirdo! Then he locked the door behind us. Why? I don't know but that was creepy mistake number one. Next he tried to tell us that in order to get the extra position we needed to have head shots and to get measured. Even if that was the protocol he kept insisting that we do this all there in his office. :/ Umm...no.

He tried to con us in into giving up all this cash and then tried to tell us how important he was. Blah! He had nothing to show for it. He kept pointing to this photo from page six in an old newspaper where he was with some actress but he was posted up in the back (not really in the picture) and we were supposed to believe he was important. Who was he trying to play? He attempted again to make us believe he was legit by showing us a clip of this new girl he "just" signed who he claimed he got into a TV sitcom but he wasn't even in the clip and the clip had no sound so we couldn't hear the interview. So basically he fed us with crap and wanted to take advantage of us in his tiny trashy office.

After he tried to get us to pay up we ran out and told him to lose our contact information. After that I vowed to myself never to search for employment on craigslist.
