How Dumb Are Twilight Fans?

You would think that these rabid Twilight fans would know everything there is about Twilight wouldn’t you? Apprently their rabid fanboy/girlism is so blinding that they are ripe to scammers.

It appears that all those people dumb enough to sign up for Twilight news via e-mail, or frequent message boards about Twilight (people really do this?), have started to find out that they aren’t going to get to appear in the next movie, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

Scam e-mails were being sent to many Twilight fans that claimed to be a way for them to appear int he next movie. That is if they have a good enough rack mount ;) .

Fraudulent e-mails announcing casting calls for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn,” have been flooding the inboxes of fans across the country, according to The Casting Scoop.

“First of all, I knew it wasn’t credible because ‘Breaking Dawn’ doesn’t go into production for several months, so no casting director would have been hired yet,” says casting director Lana Veenker, who handled Northwest casting on the first “Twilight” film. “Also, the shoot location hasn’t even been announced! How would anyone even know which city or country to be casting in?” (wow she sounds brilliants…dar)

The e-mails implore those who are interested in walk-on parts to apply immediately with impending deadlines, promising that no experience is necessary and pay ranges from $80-250, depending on the role.

In addition, Veenker discovered that bogus casting call advertisements (which take advantage of search engine keywords) have been appearing on “Twilight” fan sites everywhere. She tracked down the company responsible and learned that they had an “F” rating with the Better Business Bureau…LOL

“People who take advantage of kids like this, who prey on their hopes and dreams, truly raise my ire,” she said in a statement released to Access. “I get thousands of letters and e-mails from ‘Twilight’ fans who would do just about anything for a walk-on part in one of the sequels. It scares me to think of what the low-lives out there could do to hurt such easy targets.”
