Beware!

Heres a comment I found on my song "Livin" In The Aftermath"
Whats wrong with this picture?!


Great song you have here. I'm a music publisher with BMI. I'm involved with a few business associates launching a new website. Which is going to be good for bands getting massive exposure, selling CDs, TShirts and getting radio and internet airplay so that you will get royalties from your songs plus have your gigs live so that you can sell tickets. You keep almost everything that you make.

To opt-in and to be notify once this site becomes live which should be in about a month before christmas. We will also have also classified searches for bands looking for musicians within your local area.

Our new site is called http://promotingthebands.com

Also if your songs are not published then you need will need to get them published. In which we would published your songs that way they are protected and from that you will receive royaties from BMI. If your not an affiliate writer with BMI here is thte link
https://applications.bmi.com/affiliation/joinen.aspx

It's free to join. For more doesn't hestiate to give me a call.

Hmmmm, plenty of spelling mistakes and poor grammar. Also, there is no mention of any of this on BMI.com which is not good. Promotingthebands.com is registered by proxy via domain privacy company so you can't see who owns the domain - unusual as a genuine company would want to keep their corporate contact details clearly visible to the public. Smells like a total scam to me. Why on earth would a non-profit corporation like BMI feel the need to contact unsigned artists via their comments pages? Looks like the site is set up as a phishing site using elements of the real BMI site to trick users into giving over personal info.

On further inspection, the companies website is actually tjcmusicpublishing-bmi.com.... no they are not BMI at all, just someone trying to piggy back off the BMI name. Also, this massive corporation uses a gmail account...

I went on this so called website of this mobs...well when i say went on got so far then ....NADA. Again I picked up on the grammar and to me it just smells a tad fishy so will wait to see if there are anymore not so good stories from folks on here before I venture any further with their so called offer.
