Never heard of them. So unless they have worked for one of our subcontractors we have never done business with them as far as I know.
I will check if we have done something a long time ago with them, or if they have submitted to Viewers' Wives maybe.filthbox wrote:

Sorry guys. Never heard of them but I have travelled to Edinburgh before for a shoot but that was years ago
Those who know me know I travel far and wide anyway. I travel all over the UK and even europe if needs be.
I just dont know anyone representing in Edinburgh but to be honest, why not? They have bonnie lasses up there so dont see why it couldnt work if someone made it so
Not sure why they would mention me or Doll Theatre. I'm not even sure Doll Theatre are producing these days unless they meant in the past.
I dont like to be too quick to judge as it could have a negative impact by saying they are fake when they may well be legitmate and starting out.
Lets face it, ?24,000 per annum is realistic earnings

The ad has also been posted to StudentJobs.co.uk, Gumtree and other classified aggregator sites. One such ad gives a postcode of EH1 1UE. which according to Streetmap.co.uk is an out-of-date postcode for the Brunswick Road area which is near Hibernian FC.
Since Brunswick Road, according to Google Streetview, is the site of a Royal Mail sorting office, the ad most likely has a 'dummy' postcode or it is simply a Mailbox pickup in the sorting centre itself.
Other ads mention Fife and give a KY3 postcode for Kirkaldy, which relates to the Burntisland area on the opposite side of the Firth of Forth, which was mainly an Aluminium plant until it closed and the site was redeveloped for housing. It is possible the owner of the drop box at Brunswick Road lives here.
Not encouraging! May simply be a wannabe egregiously overselling himself in an attempt to kickstart a career in porn, or may be a scammer or pervert simply after cash/sex from the naive.
Googling Centurion Casting Associates brings no results other than variations on the ad quoted by the OP, as per the following example on Vivastreet.

Someone's photo being used illicitly, no doubt!

The successful applicants must be able to travel to Edinburgh, either by car or train,
Why does it matter how she gets there? Why are they not allowed to travel by plane? The only time I went to Edinburgh I flew up there.
Imo: scam.

I have double checked it, we do not know them and we never use agencies anyway, we always deal direct with the talent.
