I am with AMD FIlm Studios and we are currently in pre-production of a reality TV show and would like to discuss with you the possibility of using your business in an episode or two with our stars. (not negative in any way)​

Your business as well as employee extras (if applicable) would receive compensation, on a case by case basis, and we can work around your businesses schedule.

I would like to know who I should speak to regarding this matter to go over details and see if this is a fit. I would also like to categorically state that this is in no way a sales or solicitation contact.

My profession has me tied up frequently, so email would be bestt to reply back to me so we can set up a day and time to speak on the phone.

Thank you,

A google search for [email protected] showed this email address was used to scam others.

Does anyone else receive scam solicitations through landing page inquiries?

Wow man, I have never seen this one before......thanks for letting us know.

Gotta say, this has to be one of the more creative ones I've seen in a long time..

They even provided full contact details and website URL that goes to a live site of a proper business. The only red flag is that the email domain does not match the website url so chances they just trying to leverage of AMD Studios business name.

Thanks again for sharing...

I got this exact message maybe a month ago on efty too.. I was a bit curious and taken away because it was kinda different, but I just ignored it. Thanks for the research and share...

Received similar message from contact form but from amdfilmstudios . com

Domain regged Aug 2016.

Sounds like a bot which seems to be targeting those pages. The messages sent will change from time to time, etc to hopefully come across as legit, but probably won't stop unless some changes are made to how the form is processed.

*********NOT A SCAM IN ANY WAY*******

I received the email, actually called and spoke with that gentleman, and then several months later they came to my Flower shop and filmed. THERE WAS NO SCAM IN ANY WAY – They didn’t ask me to pay for anything.

They were all extremely nice and respectful of my place actually. I guess the approach is odd, but it was all real. I did find a voice message that I missed before the email came in.

They paid me, quite handsomely actually. I don't know about that site but they said they were splitting from the main company into the new film division, so maybe that was it.

I have seen other posts of other people that had them film in their place as well. I think I may have pictures.

I hate to see flippant remarks like this. I hate that word "scam" when no one does the research.

The reason I say this is due to the fact that it happened to my daughter, and if it is not true, do research or don’t post it at all as I see many people here mentioned the full info was in there.

Why didn’t you just call? If it was a scam you could have exposed it, and when you confirm it was real you simply just don’t write the post. Probably would have taken a total of 10 minutes! (lol)

That’s how long my initial call took to go over what they wanted to film in my place.


Anyway, my daughter had a chain named dance studio and someone called her a scam when they never even came to her classes, but the funny part was, they were commenting about another store and NEVER WENT to their classes either.

Just an off the cuff remark that hurt her. Now these people are big, so I am sure this post does not affect them, but I personally feel there is certain amount of responsibility we all have when posting things.

It seems guilty until proven innocent seems to be the norm these days.

I did tons of research before I ever let them in my door and it al was extremely positive.

Please do not take offence to anything I am saying here Brian. It is more of a general thing I am mentioning. It is a great service to expose possible scams, but maybe really check it out first.

I had to comment on this as I had a good experience with them, and because I don't understand why sometimes people would use the "Scam" word when no one seemed to take a sec to cal or research a bit.


You should have said "curious email" maybe, or researched an never posted. My personal experience probably tainted me a bit so again, I apologize if I offended anyone in any way, and I thank you for your time.

yes kumbaya.. we all love it... la la la kumbaya.

but truth is domain sale landers aren't designed to get anything other than offers to buy domains. if they do.. domainers get very mad.. and when domainers get mad they can call stuff whatever they want.
scam is actually the milder and nicer way to call this. I guess that domainer didn't get very mad.

@Angela Acello: May I ask how this group contacted you? Do you have an Efty parking page? Or through your business website?

How long have you been domaining? What's the name of your flower shop? Where is it located? I have relatives all over the US so I'm always on the look out for high quality, local flower shops. Where can we view the video?

This comment looks suspicious. Who will fall for this junk?

You know what, you are all correct! I re-read it and my rant was not about you guys, or even this stupid production company. It was more a mother protecting her cubs. I was really pissed about that review thing from my daughter, and if I could have known who that guy was I would have kicked his balls up into his neck!

You are also correct. Why email a domain page? NO clue. Maybe he has a virus. I am not going to guess, but what I do know is that they are real.

To directly answer your questions: I said I had pictures, not video. Happy to dig them up or take new ones when they get here. Maybe I can ask them for video shorts.

I am on here because, as I thought mentioned, they are coming back and I wanted to make sure there was nothing bad out there about them since my last research was done around a year ago when they first came in. They pay afterward for the time they shoot. I saw this comment and I wanted to comment from my experience. But again, I think it was more me being pissed off from my daughter's experience.

But I scoured the net and only comments here and there like this are out there. I could not find anyone that got taken for anything. Their BBB still looks A+.

Yea, sorry again for the preaching .That really had nothing to do with this company or you guys.

I will look around for those pics for sure.
