KANSAS CITY – A casting call claiming to offer roles on Apple-TV show "Ted Lasso" has raised eyebrows in Kansas City.

The ad, posted by Nine9.com, promotes extras for a supposed Season 4 shoot in Blue Springs and Lee’s Summit. But hopefuls clicking “Apply” are instead led to a sales pitch requiring a $99 fee. Local actors are calling it a scam.

The real casting agent for Ted Lasso in Missouri is Alessi Hartigan Casting.

Experts say excitement shouldn’t outweigh caution when it comes to casting claims.
