Star Magic asked the public to be cautious of individuals posing as its employees, noting that auditions conducted by the talent management company do not include monetary transactions.
The talent agency addressed this by releasing an official statement through its Instagram page last Monday, Sept. 12.
“We would like to warn the public that there are people falsely claiming to be part of Star Magic Workshops and offering services such as go-sees and auditions,” it read. “Star Magic workshops will not conduct any kind of audition that offers monetary compensation. We will not also ask for payment in joining auditions.”
The company also stressed that it will proceed with the necessary legal action “to prevent the spread of false information.”
“All Star Magic Workshops transactions are done through our official social media accounts and business emails. Be wary of people posing as official Star Magic Workshops’ coordinators, coaches, teachers, directors, and agents,” it added.
Veteran actor John Arcilla, one of the talent company’s artists, lamented via the comments section how scammers are able to pull off such false transactions. JB
