JapanAxe Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Advance fee fraud. Before long they will be asking you for an admin fee, which will allegedly be refunded later. Pay that, they'll ask you for more. Why is the message not personalised to your band? Why no website to check out? The link is to a different organisation. Avoid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyguts Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Rather like an abandoned case in a US airport with your name on it containing mega dosh. Who falls for this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Dear Born Yesterday I’ve worked with Guns N Roses/Kady Ga Ga etc, never heard your band but offering you a European tour. From A Scheister 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICbass Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Frankly, I don’t know why you’re all being so cynical about it. This is clearly a great opportunity to go out on tour, make a name for yourself and hit the big time. Opportunity may only knock once so grasp this chance with both hands 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 At least they managed to spell accommodation correctly....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Sounds kosher. I'm in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't noticed before you said so, but they did indeed. As a result, I think it's safe to assume that: 1 - "Costumer Assistant" is correct too. IOW this is a luxury scheme that nobody should not apply for. 2 - They're not on BC. 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Used to get quite a lot of these back in the days of being in a 'signed' band. Sometimes it was difficult to tell the genuine offers of rip off 'buy on' tours from the fraudulent offers of rip off 'buy on' tours.
