<p>Northeastmom, I’m sure many of these ads are scams. Also, many of the jobs are unpaid. </p>
<p>In Chicago there are legit agencies for extras. The agency that my daughter signed up with was responsible for casting the movie “Public Enemies” with Johnny Dep which comes out soon. </p>
<p>The event jobs are for the huge trade shows that they have downtown. They had a bunch of jobs for the candy show that is in town, but my other D graduated last weekend so D could not apply for those. </p>
<p>One of those jobs paid $250 a day plus a 10 pound bar of ghiradelli chocolate. :-)</p>
