SCAM ALERT: Attention Local Crew Members A short film job opportunity offering a rate of $1,800 (a drastically higher than standard rate) has been emailed to members of the Ohio film community. It is our estimation that this is a FALSE project that is intended to be a phishing scheme. If you are promised a higher-than-normal rate and/or are asked to secure locations or equipment with a blank check, this is not a normal request. If you receive this type of email, please let us know or ignore it. Thank you!
