Three of Mexico’s most prominent directors — Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron and Amat Escalante — and actor-producer Diego Luna, who also has some directing gigs under his belt, have been the latest targets of a scammer that sends out missives in their names to relatively unknown writers, promising them movie deals in exchange for rights to their books or screenplays.
The ongoing scam has been persisting for at least two years, said Escalante. According to the blog Writer Beware, which has detailed the extent of these scams and displays screenshots of the letters, Diego Luna was the latest to be targeted on Jan. 11. He has not responded to requests for comment.
In August 2022, Cuaron tweeted a warning to his followers saying:
