Thread Name: Scam Emails to Folk Musicians
Subject: Scam Emails to Fok Musicians
I am probably unable by the laws of libel to name names, but if you are a singer with a successful review in a magazine or paper, and you are approached by an A&R man representing a company offering to 'Audition' you in London with a view to furthering your career, erase it immediately, and try and block the address. Unfortunately they keep on at you by firing Emails if you don't reply. I told them to naff off but I'm not sure that works.
The whole thing is a scam very similar to that practiced upon aspiring Models a few years ago. 'Pay us money and we will send your photos round the world etc.etc.' You had to 'Audition' for that as well.
It seems this bunch of Sh*t Weasels are targeting Folk Musicians at the moment, so a word to the wise
Keep Safe (in every way)
