I had a similar experience. I received a text message like this:

"I'm James affiliate producer for Mandarin Films, got your contact on tourready, its a pleasure to inform you about an upcoming short film project titled (old Town New Drama) Start date: 09-20-21 to 9-25-21, pay is $4,000 we are in need of lighting Technician kindly reply with your job title and your interest/resume at jamesdave12000@gmail.com for more consideration thank you."

So I did email him and got this within 3 hours:

"Hello _____, hope this finds you well? Thanks for the confirmation of your availability. You'll be a good fit for the project we have coming up.

Of course, I would like the money. However this whole thing seem pretty suspicious. 1) the pay is really high for a job like this. 2) A technician job would only be hired from the local union unless they are out side of the union. 3) When I googled the guy everycaller was the for thing I got. 4) I could not find a reliable webpage for Mandarin films. The only thing I could find was a chinese film company.

So my question is, has anyone actually filled out their request and gotten a gig? And more importantly did you get paid? Is this a scam?
