| ABOUT SCAM ALERTS |

Information is the greatest protection against scam artists. A criminal can't steal your money if you know how to avoid a phony sales pitch. If a new scam arises, we'll include the story here. Check back periodically to stay informed.
You might also want to check out Avoiding Scams in our Career Advice section. In addition, feel free to ask our Working Actor columnist for advice, or compare notes with other actors on our Message Board.
