Band Internet Scam BEWARE!!

T_R_S · 31st August 2005

Your band will get a email wanting to book you on a overseas tour. The short version is there is no contract and they want you to send money to book the PA and back line, deposit. It all sounds very legit as they know all the usual terms, Merch., Back line, Rider etc. etc.
They will also only give maybe a cell number that is not listed anywhere.
So be carefull!!!!

I had something like this last week on our band email adres, telling we all won a US greencard, lol. Asking us to send 345$ to some adres in the US, allong with a letter providing them our names, email, phone number, creditcard details etc etc

They probably took the email adres straight from our website, shame i removed the email after reading it. It was really funny, I should have posted here

grtz
