FYI BEWARE OF STATUE RECORDS...SCAM

<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

We got an e-mail from them on our mp3unsigned.com page and this is what it said…

Regarding the materials on your web site.

I am interested in the materials on your site. Statue is a major independent record company and would like to discuss the possibility of releasing this material and doing some radio promotion on it.

If your record is available for licensing and distribution please contact me at your earliest opportunity.

Ah yes, Statue Gimps. It's like the junk you get in the post, just stick it straight in your waste bin and be done with it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what you send them as they don't read your emails especially when you ask them questions. mmmmm and I thought it was because they couldn't read.


What WE ALL are should do is send them an email,,,all at once [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]


Tell them they have been hit big by a VIRUS, lol,,,,,of which course "OUR" Virus - MP3unsigned member can be our ring leader.


Sorry Virus we nominated you as our representative [img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img]. For some reason, you play the part just right.[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]


It's amazing that they are still in existence with all the information about them,,but then, we all have been there one time or another.

Amazing these idiots are still at it .. I had been approached by them, and
even signed a contract well over a year ago, but let it lapse (no contact
nor materials sent) due to the spam they were presenting to many artists
here. (There was quite the hot forum thread going on back then) Just for
grins, I checked out their website after 1.25 years ... It still sucks lol
(beware of an opening page that says "Copyright 1997", and an
employment page that was last posted July 2004 ... They have obviously
added new artists since the last time I viewed, but to spend even a nickle
to get placed on such a lame web presence makes no sense .. I'm happy
to have passed them by --

Cheers
