@fox26houston: 🚨 A Houston man is behind bars tonight, accused of using a fake casting opportunity to lure a woman and assault her. Investigators say a woman from Maryland was contacted through social media in 2022 by someone claiming to represent Zeus Network, inviting her to audition for the reality show "Baddies South" in Houston. ⚠️ HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FAKE CASTING SCAMS: • Most auditions are done via Zoom, not fly-outs • Research who’s contacting you • Verify their role and affiliation • Never send money for auditions Casting experts say in-person auditions are rare — and pressure, secrecy, or urgency are major red flags. 📣 If something feels off, trust your instincts.
