FNAF Haunted House in LA

[wizrah73]

Anyone in the LA area? There is going to be a Five Nights at Freddy's fan-attraction for
Halloween night. We are still looking for some good guys and gals especially if they are
in or near Los Angeles. Ages 13 and up only please.

This is a strictly volunteer thing. But hopefully we can expand into a gaming club that will have more presentations and experiences throughout the year. If your familiar with Random Encounters then its something like that - just without the singing! *LOL*

I know there is a lot of BS posted here about we're some scammers or predators. Its unfounded and the accusations are just that - acccusations and opinons built upon no evidence.

This is a innocent thing - when did "Hey! We've got a haunted house! You wanna help out and be a real animatronic?" become a crime...

So don't feel discouraged. The local police, Halloween store, and the neighborhood know us. Plus we published an advertisement in the local paper and they know us as well but still had to do a background check to make sure it was legit. And we passed with flying colors.

Sometimes the FNAF community gets a bad rap. You can see why just by reading these stupid comments that replied to this post. Well... we want to be positive. If you have ANY concerns then please let us know.

We're NOT asking for resumes or personal information. Its just an email to get things started and see what type of interest there is. And then we will provide and prove all the statements in this post are accurate if you still have doubts.

And if your under 18 - we will assure you and your parents to prove we are legit. Everyone goes through an interview and background check. Then you get to meet the rest of our cast and the location. Obviously we need their permission and would want them present to see things and ask any questions or concerns they have as well.

I originally posted this because of the FNAF haunted house in Las Vegas. I want to clarify we are NOT some huge company and we're not endorsed by Mr. Cawthon. We're doing amatuer and volunteer work for non-profit and our haunted house will be more like a parody with some cameos from other games. But don't assume its going to be less scary. This is going to be intense.

So I want to emphasize - this is for western LA area people only unless you like to drive. I know that's a very small percentage of people on steam but you never know where people are.

And to clarify one last time - we take exchanging personal information very seriously. In fact that's why WE don't go into major details because someone could try to do the same thing to us.

We have a guidebook and standards for all of this. Its volunteer only (but we have Pizza, Doritos, and Mountain Dew for MLG folks!) and we're NOT asking for resumes or personal informatino at this time. The email is just for information and interest. If you want to talk about scammers or predators then take your BS to another topic discussion instead of here. Thank you.

For information and interest only - please just contact us at: [e-mail]

Guys...this is a classic example of someone trying to snow FNaF fans and it's downright predatory. This isn't how help-wanted ads work.

...Do NOT reply to this. No matter how great this sounds, if you send your resume out to this email address, or you'll just be sending out your personal contact information to a sketchy individual.

[Rollerwings]

Hey wizrah73 -- Scott has confirmed the officially-licensed FNaF-themed horror house at Fright Dome (Circus Circus, Las Vegas.) He said nothing about the one-night attraction you claim is going to happen.

I frankly think it's beyond chilling that you're preying on young people looking for work by requesting their personal information and resumes. Classic predator behavior, man. :(

Young people have fallen victim to work/modeling/acting scams so many times before.

...It ain't gonna happen on my watch or on this forum, buster.

Once again, for forum members seeing this, no matter how much you'd like a job, DO NOT reply to this scammer. This is sketchy as all get-out and if you send that email address a resume, you've just supplied a complete stranger with all your personal contact information. DO NOT DO IT!

Reported!

I fear this individual is attempting to gather personal information from forum members under the false pretense of a job related to the Five Nights at Freddy's games. The individual supplied an email address for forum members to send their personal contact information and/or resumes to under the pretense of being hired as actors in an FNaF-themed attraction that almost certainly doesn't exist. I find this beyond alarming and predatory in nature.

[Rollerwings]

Done warning people about a downright predator? Probably not.

I was young and naive myself back in the day and I got talked into a local "entrepreneur's" scam to work for his start-up company. I quit a good job to sign on with him only to have the job fall out from under me because it had never existed in the first place. I had to go back to the hiring office at my old job where I'd given my two weeks' notice and grovel for my job back. I got rehired, but I had to forfeit my $1500 hiring bonus and any vacation time I'd earned. Pretty harsh lesson when you're 22, but hey.

...So yeah, I'm not "done yet." The original post in this scam is a scam, pure and simple, and if I can prevent one person from falling for it, it was more than worth it.

[wizrah73]

Excuse me, but I am not some sort of predetor or anything of the sort. You don't know me or what I have planned. This was conducted last year and our neighborhood loved it. We are just looking to expand - nothing else.

I'm well aware of the haunted house in Las Vegas. I wanted to give some people around LA a chance to do something cool if they couldn't make that one.

So don't patronize me, please. This is not a scam.

[wizrah73]

Also, Bredspy... you claim information that has happened in your own life. But that's not the purpose of this ad. I'm sorry you went through something like that. I truly am. But the last thing we want is to hurt, scam, or exploit people. You don't have ANY evidence to the contrary.

In this country, you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. I am not charged with anything nor have I comitted any wrong here. Your ruining this potential experience for others who may want to participate.

So again... sorry this happened to you. But THAT is not THIS. No scams here. Please.. just give us a chance and let people decide for themselves. We've set up tons of privacy protection to avoid any problems. But guy.. its some friends and family wanting to expand our haunted house. Nothing more.

Why not, instead of posting an ad on the Steam discussions, buy a newspaper ad for the local newspaper?

That way, you would be way more likely to find local people who will be interested.

Unless nobody reads the newspaper there anymore, in which case, maybe posting an ad online is the right way to go.

Hunter#357 - That is what I am doing, sir. I am not out to scam people. It's like a real FNAF mini-convention. People can come for the pizza, hang out with other fans, we'll have a game section for all the games, etc. Then we have the haunted house with the animatronics and we want to expand. So I thought this would be a safe and innocent enough way to do it. I did not expect or appreciate being attacked by people who don't know me and start calling my post a scam operation. People can have their opinions but this is honestly a fun and legit thing. And since its a parody, fan-made, and non-profit, we're not infringing upon Mr. Cawthon's rights or anyone else. So please - let this stop now and people can contact me for themselves.

You said you had one last year, correct?

If you post some pictures of it, perhaps people will believe you.

If it has people in it, just blur the faces out.

[wizrah73]

I DO have pictures but why do I need to post them? Why am I already accused and now have to try to prove my innocence? And even if I did... someone would probably say I just got them off the internet. I'm not going to play a game back and forth. Either you want to check us out or not.

I never asked for resumes. And people under 18 need parental permission and a signature. Just to cover ourselves legally. I just want people who know the game and the characters. And if they happen to be in the LA area then they can check us out. So people should be intelligent enough to make their own choice.

Lastly, we did post in the newspaper this weekend. Its probably still on there if you go to the Daily Breeze website in Torrance, CA. Check it out while its still there. If that doesn't convince you that we're legit then I give up. Nothing probably will.

So to anyone else who may be reading this - I hope all this negative and unecessary postings haven't scared you away. You should be cautious - yes. But that's how you build up a business relationship. You gotta start somewhere. We are not scammers, predators, or exploiters.

Scott has said personally in his automated e-mail: " Please be supportive of people in the community and those creating fan-games. You have the power to build people up or tear them down, please be something positive in the lives of people around you. "

I can't think of a better way to say it.

[Hex: Windex]

No pics = no proof man. :/

[Mega Munchy]

I don't think this is the right place to post wanted ads here. A lot of users here (not all) are less than 18 & do not live anywhere within CA.

[The Duck Dealer]

Until Scott comments personally on this, I'm not believing a word of this.

I mean, other than the attraction itself.

Exactly. This is like when people say "Where do you live?". They would kill me or they would rape me.
