Two men ran a bicoastal scam that tricked aspiring actors out of money by promising them bogus gigs and leaving them on the hook for fraudulent checks, according to prosecutors.

Thomas Irigoyen, 51, and Nicholas Ofei Cofie, 36, allegedly targeted budding actors through a website and mailers from fake production companies offering them parts in commercials that did not exist, according to a Manhattan federal criminal complaint.

The men would send the victims bad money orders or checks upfront asking them to deposit them and then withdraw the majority of the money and convert it to Bitcoin to pay “wardrobe consultants,” the court papers say.

Then the victims would be left responsible for the fraudulent payments they had deposited and drew against. They also discovered the job was fake and the stylist they paid was fictitious, the court documents said.

Irigoyen, of Kingsburg Calif., and Cofie, of the Bronx, are accused of running the scheme from December 2016 until their arrest on Wednesday.

Cofie is also charged for allegedly duping a woman into a fake romance and getting her to give him over $65,000, according to the court papers.

The pair are charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and face up to 20 years in prison. Cofie is also additionally charged with wire fraud and faces another 20 years in prison on that count.

A lawyer for Cofie did not immediately return a request for comment and a lawyer for Irigoyen could not immediately be reached.
