The so-called “Con Queen of Hollywood' recently began targeting Marvel Studios and conducted lurid fake telephone auditions with aspiring actors
In April, Victoria Alonso, executive vp production at Marvel, discovered a scammer was using her identity to conduct sexually explicit telephone auditions with aspiring actors:"I’ve spent many, many sleepless nights.", a sophisticated swindler who for several years has been impersonating prominent producers, studio executives and other members of the entertainment industry as part of an elaborate financial scam.
The scam has affected hundreds of people on at least four continents. Over the last several years, the Con Queen appears to have stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to victims, law enforcement officials and investigators tracking the case. During the call, the Con Queen urged Wengrzynek to engage in sexually explicit role-play in order to convince her that he had the necessary acting chops. Wengrzynek played along, to a point, until the conversation became too uncomfortable and weird.
“I want my name to be loud and clear,” Alonso says in an interview. “This is not how we work. This is not who we are. We would never ask people to do that.” To clear her name, Alonso had to account for her whereabouts on certain dates, her travel plans and her hiring practices. She called her friend, Pascal, who is now a producer and was impersonated extensively two years ago. Pascal counseled Alonso on what steps to take.
