Tampa Film Scams To Be Addressed

With the marked increase in Tampa indie film scams, especially these Tampa film workshop scams (and now acting workshop scams), I have a special gift for the Tampa indie film scene. These Tampa film scams are about to wither under the full might of the latest scam fighting tools, which will be deployed on Tampa Bay Film, and then on Tampa Bay Acting. As we recall, Tampa modeling scams have lost a lot of money due to the scam fighting tools deployed in use against them over the years, and they have been proven to be very effective. These new tools are particularly nasty, and are brand new second-generation scam busters, which will be at least ten times more effective than the first-generation scam fighting tools which have crippled Tampa modeling scams.
Be warned. My sites are powerful, and are the most widely read web sites addressing Tampa indie film and the Tampa entertainment industry. People will find out who you are and what you are really doing well before you get the chance to trick them and take their money. You will be known for what you do, and these deceptive trade practices will prove to be a detriment, and a credibility killer.
Doing workshops marketed under the guise of a free networking group where you hope to make money off of the stupidity of people who are yearning to start an entertainment career? Think again. You might want to rethink your business model, before your unethical tactics come back and bite you in the ass. Oh, and these so-called professionals who don’t bother checking out things before you get involved with them, be warned. You are who you associate with.
How’s business going to be when it becomes known that you are associated with a scam? I don’t associate with scams, and neither should you.
These new Tampa film scam busting tools will prove to be very effective with undermining and disrupting Tampa indie film scams. This will do, until I am in position to address the Tampa indie film scene and help to bring integrity and professionalism to it.
So, here is a recap. You are what you do, and you are who you associate with. Deal with it, and change your ways before the professionals step in and force you to change.
Oh, and Tampa does not need these shady schools and workshops. The Tampa film scene needs filmmakers who help each other out with no hidden motives or agendas. While it is not a scam to do a school or a workshop, it is a scam when you advertise a free group only to lure people in and bait and switch them with a sales pitch for a workshop.
Right now, this week, I will be busy working on my new service contracts for my businesses. Once those are done, I will complete and deploy the Tampa Bay Film Scam Analysis Database, which is currently 50% complete, and it will be huge in comparison to what is now online at Tampa Bay Modeling. If you are running a Tampa film scam or are planning on doing a Tampa film scam, be afraid. You will not succeed in ripping off a lot of people.
