GUEST,Marlene Duval and Associates, New York Anyone heard of AMMA (Australia) (161* d) RE: Anyone heard of AMMA (Australia) 24 Apr 10


Here is how my team see things….

Who does not want to be coining it in like Madonna or Lady GaGa ?
Place adverts on free sites and mass spam e-mails.
Attend 1 MIDEM function, or dupe people to represent you at a MIDEM function.
People respond to spam, MIDEM, free adverts on free blogs and websites and chat pages specifically orientated to the music industry Etc.
You only want non Australian clients for this to work.
Charge a fee to potential musicians who are gasping for some PR and status-quo improvement, plus promises of potential contracts with big named distributors.
Get a P.O. Box Address where people send money to.
Make sure they only send physical CD, an MP3 could be traced or too much work to deal with – after all this is a scam, so, money in, not out.
Bank the foreign money orders – or cash them.
Buy a barcode (ISSN 13 NUMBERS +/- AUD $35.99).
Possibly recycle the ISSN Barcode over and over.
Print the odd monthly or quarterly Magazine (eg. in China, 40 pages, full color, low gr paper +/- AU$1300.00 per month ?) that you can send to your "exclusive" clients – do not forget, you may not sell these magazines as they are actually not genuinely recognised or accredited by any relevant music bodies.
Make sure the recipients of the magazines are part of a select mailing list – no public enquiries allowed.
Charge an extra fee for "AnR Awards" or/and "AnR Award nominations" (charge up to an extra AUD $2700.00 for this).
Cancel the "award" ceremony at the last minute for some reason beyond your control (blame the caterer or an offshore volcano) and then simply mail something that will make the poor sods believe they won something.

Optional is in which order you wish to follow the above 14 procedures.
