Press Release Body: Hollywood, California - As the number of scams targeting
aspiring actors, singers, dancers and models escalate, and scammers become more
sophisticated in their methods, it can be tricky to identify the difference between
a scam and a legitimate opportunity. In response to the growing number of internet
scam victims, Star Search Casting ( www.StarSearchCasting.com ), in addition to
becoming the number one casting website, has also become the leading provider of
up-to-date information on the latest industry scams. Star Search Casting educates
users on how to spot a scam; actively monitors all site activity to prevent members
from becoming the victim of popular internet scams; and encourages members to report
suspicious activities and warn others if they've uncovered a scam.

"Our members use our site not only because they know they'll get access to valuable
casting opportunities, but also because they know our website is a safe environment
that's actively monitored to prevent scammers from taking advantage of them," says
Jonathan Parker, CEO of Star Search Casting. "In addition to making sure that the
site is safe, we also try to educate our members on how to spot a scam. Many
internet users think that if a site or service charges money that it's automatically
a scam, but this is one of the most misleading pieces of advice circulating the web.
More accurately, if the site or service asks for money but only accepts cash or
money orders, that's an immediate red flag."

The staff at Star Search Casting is very knowledgeable of scamming trends and it's
this knowledge that helps to keep the site and its members safe. Star Search Casting
staff members regularly and routinely updates its members on the latest industry
scams. When members log in to their website, the Entertainment Scam Alert section
provides instant updates on the most recent scammer activity targeting aspiring
actors, dancers, models and actors. Additionally Star Search Casting staff members
post information about these scams in the site\'s forums to make sure members are
informed and aware of potential scams. Many of these posts occur within 24-48 hours
of the scam's first appearance on the internet.

Star Search Casting has always taken vast measures to ensure the safety of its site.
It's the only casting site that is both Hacker Safe and a member of the Better
Business Bureau Online Reliability Program. In response to escalating internet
scams, the staff at Star Search Casting monitors all of the messages on the site
regularly to ensure the safety of its members. Additionally when members access
their messages, Star Search Casting provides their members with an option at the top
of each message to flag the message if they encounter spam or abuse.

Star Search Casting members also work to keep the site safe, and to keep fellow
members from falling victim to internet scams. Star Search Casting members are
encouraged to post information about scams in the site's forums if they encounter a
scam or have become the victim of a scam. The forums are also a great way for
members to learn more information about how to spot and avoid popular scams &
frauds.

All of these measures combined help to combat over 90% of scam attempts on the Star
