Ito’y matapos silang makatanggap ng reklamo laban sa mga nagpapanggap na empleyado ng Star Magic na humihingi umano ng bayad para sa mga go-see at audition.

Sa pamamagitan ng kanilang Instagram post noong Lunes, September 12, 2022, naglabas ng opisyal na pahayag ang talent management arm ng ABS-CBN upang linawin ang isyu, kalakip ang paalala sa publiko na mag-ingat sa scammers.
Narito ang buong pahayag ng Star Magic (published as is): “We would like to warn the public that there are people falsely claiming to be part of Star Magic Workshops and offering services such as go-sees and auditions.
“Star Magic workshops will not conduct any kind of audition that offers monetary compensation. We will not also ask for payment in joining auditions.
“We strongly condemn these actions and will take all legal steps to prevent the spread of false information.
“All Star Magic Workshops transactions are done through our official social media accounts and business emails.
“Be wary of people posing as official Star Magic Workshops’ coordinators, coaches teachers, directors and agents.”
Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataong pinuntirya ng scammers ang Star Magic.

Noong October 2021, nagpaalala na rin sila sa publiko na huwag maniwala sa nagpapanggap na "Direk Rahyan Carlos," na gumagawa umano ng fake emails at humihingi ng “reservation fees” para mag-recruit sa mga gustong mag-artista online.
Samantala, nagkomento naman tungkol dito ang Star Magic artist na si John Arcilla, na halos hindi makapaniwala na hanggang sa ngayon ay talamak pa rin ang mga manloloko.
