GMA informed the public that there have been scammers using its name to hold fake auditions for its upcoming TV series “Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre” and ask money from the victims.
“GMA Entertainment Group strongly warns the perpetrators who have been posting about the fake audition for ‘Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre,'” the network said in a statement released on Tuesday, Jan. 16.
