Rob-B-Hood Audition Scam
Beware! There is an email circulating which offers a chance to audition for the sequel to Jackie's recent Hong Kong action comedy Rob-B-Hood and it is a scam. There is no sequel to Rob-B-Hood planned, and if there were, there would be no chance that Emperor Motion Pictures or JCE would charge for auditions. The fake email offers - in exchange for RM1,000 -"food, airfare, lodging in Malaysia and the chance to audition for parts before Chan, Louis Koo and Michael Hui, his fellow stars from Rob-B-Hood." Solon So, Senior Vice President of the JC Group, Jackie's management in Hong Kong, said that the email was an attempt to defraud and has referred the matter to EMP's legal department.
