Did he/she inform you within 30 seconds, what kind of duration it would be, such as, series installment, episode, segment , or part? If not , there's two points for being fake.

Did she/he tell you right off the bat, what role or part you looked or seemed ideal for? Yes. 1 REAL point

I'd say if they're not talking a lot about only details of what you would be doing, when, where, and the range, or option of compensation you'd get for it within a minute of approaching you, fake point.

Did they say specifically where you would have to go to audition or appear if it was spontaneous?

Did he/she have a business card? Yes- Real point. Did it look legitimate? No. -Fake point.

If he/she gave you a location, did it sound clear, and at a very ideal, and public location? Yes- Real point.

Did they want you to go to what seemed a strange location? Yes- fake point

Did you ask them a few simple, yet, unusual, specific, clever, or any other clear and sensible questions he/she should have been able to answer without hesitation to, but did in fact hesitate on before asking? Yes- Fake point

Was the person wearing sunglasses? Yes- fake point.

Did he/she offer you to go participate spontaneously at a highly known, high traffic location? If not, did this person tell you exactly where you had to be and when, to be possibly picked out of an audience, etc? Yes to either - Real point.

So assuming a fake point registers as a negative point towards real points,
If in answering these answer questions, you came up with a 0 or higher, you know it was real. BUT, that's if your definition of REAL, includes shows that could be playing of those jokes on you, are setting you up to be one of those "fool" contestants. Like a fake game show, where they ask you jibber-jabber, or hidden camera shows and segments, etc. Otherwise, I tried sir.

A very imperfect system of spontaneously self-fabricated "how to spot a imposter reality show recruiter" authenticity scoring test, with, just a pinch of borderline rubbish. Hahahaha.
