Topic: Roth Scammer Is Booking Axl Rose Gigs Return to archive

RollingstonesUSA Launch Radio Networks reports: The scammer who's been offering clubs a phony chance to book DAVID LEE ROTH has been doing the same thing with other artist names. According to Pollstar.com, the scam artist has also been trying to get people interested in shows by GUNS N' ROSES leader Axl Rose, POISON, POISON frontman Bret Michaels, and ALICE IN CHAINS. The phony agent has used a few different names, including one that's very similar to the name of Roth's real, well-known booking agent, who said, "He's using my name. That's where he really crossed the line with me. I'm going to drop coin on the table to find this nut." The real agent has been in contact with both the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission.

The scammer has tricked several venues by asking really low fees for well-known entertainers. Basically, the warning goes out to all clubs — if someone offers to get you an act for what seems like a lot less than the artist might normally charge, beware.

The phony agent also has certain mistakes in the contract he sends to the clubs, including a "force manure" clause instead of a "force majeure" clause, which voids obligation in the event of uncontrollable actions, including war and Acts Of God such as natural disasters.

The next legitimate gig for DAVID LEE ROTH is Saturday (August 19) in Clarkston, Michigan.
