I received an email yesterday, which read as follows:

Hi,
My name is Stephanie and I am working with a major production company and TV network for a show about people who are living a double or secret life and need help getting their life back on track. We are very serious about finding the right people and we will handle all applicants with the utmost respect and sensitivity.
As your blog deals with interesting topics such as sex workers, I was wondering if you would mind sharing this message with your network. For more information about the project please go here: http://www.doublelifecasting.com Please let me know me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Stephanie
DOUBLE LIFE
Do you feel like you’re living a lie? Are you keeping a secret from
your family and friends that is causing your life to spiral out of
control?
Do you want to make a change and are you ready? We can
help. From the Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary
series, “Intervention” comes a new series about people who are living
double lives.
We are searching for people who are tired of keeping their secret
from their family, friends, and loved ones. We are only looking for
people who are genuinely interested in finding healing in their lives.
The goal of this transformational series is to help people rebuild
and heal fractured lives. This is a documentary series that is non-
exploitive and will treat each participant with extreme sensitivity.
Participants will be offered the choice to consult with a therapist
during production.
*If you are interested in applying, please send us an email at
doublelifecasting1@gmail.com or if you are unable to email call us at
818.728.4147. Please briefly tell us about yourself, the nature of
the double life you are leading, who you are keeping this secret
from, how it has affected your life, and why you want to stop
living this lie now.
Please include your phone number, as well as the city & state
where you live. Please attach 2 jpegs of yourself.
We look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks!

That’s all I know. It could be legitimate, or it could be an elaborate practical joke or scam; the former seems more likely but I’m obviously not in a position to vouch for it. I won't suggest that anyone does or does not participate; I'm also not interested in discussing whether such a project is a good idea or not. Judge for yourself; decide for yourself.
