I was just unwittingly caught up in a scam on the net
with persons i cant name here.If you are an
artist,musician,filmmaker,writer of any sort please
heed this warning.There are various online resources
for all of the above and if you choose to use them be
careful as evidently non check the backgrounds of the
supposed artists they list within their sites.I was
caught up in a scam partially due to these sites.sites
such as Tonos,Garadgeband.com,Taxi etc.What ever you
do if you meet anyone via the net through any such
sort of site please ask for references and go to great
lengths to verify them.I found a person claiming to be
a singer with great material on the net and was
directed to these sites to listen.I was truly amazed
by what i heard.not knowing the material i was
listening too was the materials from true artists that
have no been signed and names changed etc to hide from
copywrite laws.What ever you do regardless of how
blown away you are by what you see or hear please ask
for references and check them thouroughly.What ever
you do do not trust ANYONE within any of these sites
period.This has already cost me a dream job being
caught up in this as i suggested a singer to a group
of very talented musicians and they listened and were
blown away but unlike me one chose to look deeper and
found the singer to be a total sham on several
levels.What ever you do PLEASE call and personaly
check references.Please to anyone who is in any groups
pass this on to what ever groups you see fit if this
little tale will keep someone else from this
situation. This thing cost me a lot and most
importantly it has cost me was some new but very dear
friendships with people ive unknowingly admired for
ages.AGAIN i can't stress enough if you deal with any
such sites please check references as they do not.

thanx,khevin


P.S. Please forgive me for those of you that recieve
this twice but please pass it on as i would like to at
least try to keep someone else from this situation

DO NOT EVER TRUST ANYONE ONLINE!This incoudes any and
all music,writing,filmmaking sites.Personaly check the
background of any person you deal with PLEASE pass
this to any and all groups whos members could possibly
benifit from this
