Pollstar has a rather funny story regarding an impostor trying to con promoters into paying deposits for bogus future Depeche Mode shows. Here are the details... For the past month, someone has been impersonating Sensible Events (a Live Nation company) managing director Andrew Zweck and tried to pass him or herself off as Depeche Mode's agent. The scam came to light just before an Israeli promoter was to send the impostor euro 150.000 as pre-payment for a May 9 show in the country's Caesaria Amphitheatre in Kessaria. According to Zweck the fraud was of an extremely high quality in terms of the language used in the correspondence. The apparent fraudster may have duped others as e-mails from the bogus address have already popped up in other countries. (Thanks to Depeche-Mode.com for the tip)
Order the deluxe boxset of "Sounds of the Universe" at Amazon UK, Amazon US or Amazon Germany.
