A certain TV program aired a message that said, “In exchange for paying 1 million yen, I will let you appear on a TV program.”
Normally this would have been impossible, but it seems like it turned out okay because it was a prank project.
Did you take a chance? Some people say that, but I can’t help but feel like it’s encouraging fraud.
The person will not be informed of the prank project
In the first place, the theory behind prank projects for TV shows is that the people themselves are not made aware of the plot.
In other words, everyone except the person being deceived is informed of the plot in advance.
Otherwise, it would have been a surprise! I can’t get any fresh reactions after that.
Prank projects are a type of content that has continued uninterrupted since the 1970s.
In this case, the idea was, “In exchange for paying 1 million yen, I’ll let you appear on a TV program.”
Normally this can’t happen.
In most cases, after paying 1 million yen, the recipient of the money disappears.
Or, there is a pattern in which the amount cannot be refunded due to bankruptcy proceedings.
This is so common in investment-related scams that some people may feel a sense of déjà vu.
Did you seize the chance? Well, how about that?
As a result, the talent appeared on the program and succeeded in increasing their name recognition.
If you just look at this, many people will probably think of it as a heart-warming “good story.”
This is just a guess, but I’m sure the agency has been informed of the plot.
Otherwise, there is no way I would have paid 1 million yen.
There’s no way I could spend money on that! That was it with a quick laugh.
The only ones who don’t know are the people themselves…
Otherwise, you won’t be able to get fresh reaction footage.
If you look at it from a deeper perspective, it can be said that this is a process to promote the talent in question from the beginning.
This is what is called a “made race”.
Isn’t this likely to encourage fraud?
There is something called “audition fraud” in the world.
It targets young people who admire idols and musicians.
There are also some programs aimed at people in their 30s and 40s.
Audition fraud often goes unnoticed by those who are deceived.
Even though you didn’t pass the audition, you seem promising, so why not take some lessons? You were approached.
It is unclear whether anyone will actually pass the audition.
In other words, audition fraud involves recruiting “trainees” who will pay money.
Stars are rarely born from trainees.
As long as you don’t quit, you’ll always be a trainee.
Have you ever wanted to create a CD or other sound source? You might be asked to do so.
Please prepare several hundred thousand yen for that purpose…
Even when it comes to CDs and other sound sources, since they are indie, they are basically sold by the person himself/herself.
If you have a lot of friends or a lot of followers on SNS, you may be able to make some sales.
I intentionally called it a scam, but it’s actually not a scam.
Please pay a few hundred thousand yen first! There is also a method.
By the way, please pay a few hundred thousand yen first! There is also a method.
In severe cases, you may be forced to solicit.
Yes, it’s kind of like an MLM.
Initially, you pay several hundred thousand yen to join a group, but in reality you end up spending a lot of time looking for the next talent.
Even though they were supposed to be aiming to be idols or musicians, they may end up not doing any musical activities such as live performances.
If you can’t find the next talent, there’s a possibility that your boss will insult you.
I’ll probably quit the moment I realize what the hell I’m doing, but I won’t get my initial payment of several hundred thousand yen back.
It’s still better if you can pay a few hundred thousand yen from your savings.
When you borrow money from a financial institution, you have to keep making payments until it is paid off.
Summary
No job requires you to pay before doing the work.
That kind of occultism is impossible.
In order to avoid being scammed, it is important to be aware of scams.
It’s good to enjoy TV programs as entertainment.
Please don’t take the content of TV programs seriously.
Please cultivate a healthy sense of suspicion.
