![]() Hi there -
So we have been trying to kill accounts that pretend to be one of the bandmembers, not only because they’re full of shit but because they also try and scam fans. For example, a fake Taylor was charging people $400 for a special meet and greet VIP experience which is never going to happen. Please let those know that this is a scam and the band will never ever ever sell any kind of VIP experience. We have had a fake Pat and several other fake Taylor’s. If in doubt, ASK! |

![]() Sadly far too many are taken in by the fake accounts. Most don't try to buy these fake offers, but it's a continuing problem that these accounts are considered real by so many, especially if the press pick them up. I remember the problems we had with a fake Dave on twitter a few years ago, didn't take any money but the press were quoting what he posted as being from Dave, some of which were hurtful/rude etc.

![]() I reported fake Taylor and fake Pat, though fake Pat didn’t get to the point of trying to sell me anything. Fake Taylor seemed kinda pissed at me when I told him I’d rather be at the rail and take my chances at meeting the band. Save the VIP for some schlep who has more money than brains!

![]() I appreciate you guys ratting these fuckers out. We have an Instagram contact so we can get them taken down fairly quickly.
I don't KNOW for sure that someone paid but I suspect. Management doesn't tell me everything but I would think I am correct. ![]() |

![]() While we're at it, this one was caught out a few months ago, made a half-arsed statement that it was a fan page, but has now reverted to representing itself as real: https://www.instagram.com/davegrohl/

![]() Hi
I've been contacted on instagram by someone claiming to be Rami. They have started asking me about meet n greet. Clearly a scammer? Last edited by gezjohns@outlook.com : February 24th 2018 at 12:56 AM. |
