Plz tell me whether what im about to audition for is a scam...!

First of all, are you under 18? If so, go with an adult. Secondly, contact the person via phone, and ask them some questions: how will you be paid, how is the film financed, do they have funding, etc. The answers are important of course, but they are more about finding out whether the person is prepared or not. If they um and ah, then it suggests they don't really know what they're doing or how they're going to do it. Thirdly, get a copy of their CV. Check their references. Fourth: is this an audition, or is he asking everybody who applied to go to a general meeting. Someone who accepts everyone who applies may not necessarily be someone you want to work with. Fifth: if the money is going to be paid upfront, ask how much, and what payment later will be. Royalties are fine for later, but if you're being paid up front, is it per hour/wages, or a fee. A fee might not be worth your time. Find out how many hours you'll be expected to be available. Ask them if you'll get a contract, with all the payment and rights laid out clearly. If you don't get a contract, or if they say no, I would avoid. Six: why advertise for writers in the same place you're seeking cast? Because the script isn't finished. The script isn't finished, and yet you can cast people? Sounds odd to me. Lastly... has nobody thought about the name? "Scott Free"... is that a pseudonym? ... Ultimately, go with your gut. If you feel uncomfortable after some research, don't do it. Other roles will turn up.
