ATTN: Bands that use myspace for booking BEWARE[views:1456][posts:10]___________________________________ [May 19,2008 11:55am - cav nli ""] so i just reported this to myspace. turns out people are posing as booking companies to get contact information from bands. not too sure what they are doing with it but, here, see for youself... From: BECKY BOOKS SHOWS Date: Apr 18, 2008 5:33 PM I was interested in booking your band for a show in Boston at the end of May. Please email me back with the name and telephone number (with area code) of the band member that books your shows and I will contact your band with the details. Thanks Becky Myspace.com/BeckyBooksShows i responded to this message saying that i dont give out my personal info, if they could send the info over myspace or email, wed be happy to consider the offer. she said that she wouldnt send the info over the internet that she only dealt with bands over the phone. i just said fuck it. then we got this message about a month later and i realized it was a bit of a scam. Date: May 9, 2008 5:35 PM Subject: SHOW BOOKING Body: I was interested in booking your band for a show in Providence in August. Please email me back with the name and telephone number (with area code) of the band member that books your shows and I will contact your band with the details. Thanks Jill myspace.com/jillbooksbands kinda weird. but i figured id let you guys know, ignore show offers from someonesnamebooksshows or booksbands. its all bs. |
