I got this mysterious email the other day. This is it, in it's entirety:

"You were chosen to receive this introductory email. A major film entertainment company is casting for extras in the Washington State University area for an upcoming film. We will need to have your submission within the next fifteen (15) days for consideration. We need females aged 18-28 for extras non-speaking parts. Should you be chosen for our shoot you would receive $65 minimum for appearance fees plus time over one hour. Should you wish to be considered please respond with the following REQUIRED items:

Full name, School phone (and alternative phone if available, and photo (jpg or gif format).

Clif Spencer
Associate Casting director
Casting Solutions, Inc."

From the beginning I was skeptical. Why didn't the sender say what major film company, or who was going to be in the film, so as to entice people to reply? Hmmm... I spent a few minutes searching Google for all the combinations of words associated with this clown and got no match...
Another weird thing was the list of recipients that got the email - all of them ended with @wsu.edu. So, this means that the sender got the emails from the email directory associated with our school. I wondered what was the senders motive for selecting these 18 addresses... Then, I recognized one of the emails. It belonged to another "Suzanne" that lived on my floor last year. It popped into my head that I should search the directory on the WSU website for "Suzanne"s. The list that came up had exactly 18 email address associated with several Suzannes - these 18 emails were identical to the 18 emails in the recipient list. The fucker sent this seeminly bogus email to all the Suzannes at WSU that had an email on file... I find this really odd. Even if the movie is legitimate [which I think it's NOT], I woudn't want to be associated with such tom-foolery. Sucks to their movie!
