Watch out for “Major Label” scam - Colombia Records etc

I’ve seen a scam going around of someone who supposedly works a major label (Colombia Records is a common one) reaching out, then asking you if you believe in yourself and want to invest in yourself, want to work with Colombia records etc.

ANY REAL LABEL WILL BE OFFERING YOU MONEY, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

No label will ever ask you for money out of your own pocket. No label will ever ask you to match their investment (you out $50k, we’ll put $50k).

Also if you don’t have a few hundred thousand monthly listeners, or more likely over a million, there’s no way these big labels are reaching out.

If it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.

Share experiences here if you’ve had them so others know what to look for.
