Exposed: Shocking Screenwriting Scam Uncovered by Former Academy Awards Director
And, Universal Studios an “L.L.C.”?
The REAL company website is: UniversalPictures.com
But the con is clever.
The fake “Julien” told my friend that Universal Pictures wants to produce his book adaptation – but they’ll require a professional writer. Conveniently, he knows one: David North.
Fake Julien, the scammer, claimed Mr. North will be paid $55,000 by Universal Studios to write the screenplay adaptation. Universal Studios would cover $40,000, but my friend must contribute $15,000 to show he has “skin in the game.”
