Stephen Strother AKA ARMUSIC1.COM Stephen Strother AKA ARMUSIC1.COM is a fraud be safe!!! LITHONIA Georgia

THIS GUY IS A SCAM I CAN PROVE IT HE HAS FAKE!!!!! HIS TESTIMONIALS ARE FAKE!!! LETS CALL THESE SO CALLED PEIOLE AND SEE HOW TRUE THEY ARE OR IF THEY EVEN KNOW HIM.. I KNOW OF 4 THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HIM AND HAVE NOT SIGNED ANYONE.... HE IS A FAKE, AND I WILL BE CALLING HIS a*s TOMORROW ANOTHER LOU PEARLMAN IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE. ANOTHE RSCAM SCUM BAG.......

I stand in defense of Mr. Strother as a former client because he helped me out of an industry scam a while ago when I was managing my brothers group.

Mr. Strother is indeed a legitimate industry contact and the former A&R Executive for LaFace records and once LaFace records went out of business and moved offices to New York, Mr. Strother continued his A&R services independently. I know this for a fact because when I was in the midst of the the problem I was going through with a local (hate to say it), but fake record label, the people that were trying to scam my brothers group claimed that they were being "endorsed" by LaFace records, so in order to find out if this were true or not, I contacted LaFace myself (then located in Atlanta) and was forwarded to Mr. Strother, who was very helpful and told me to discontinue any business with the label until he investigated it. Within 24 hours, Mr. Strother got back to me and told me that the label was indeed a scam and LaFace knew nothing of them. After several months of conversing back and forth with Mr. Strother, it was then that I found out about A&R Music 1 Music Business seminars.

I paid to go to one of the seminars but had to cancel at the last minute due to illness. I didn't receive money back because when you sign up for these seminars it stipulates strict refund policies in that you have only a short period of time to request a refund, otherwise no money will be returned, which makes completes sense given the fact that this money goes towards the panel of industry exects that come out to the seminars. To get any industry exect or artist to come out to events is very costly. However even though I wasn't able to get money back, he did send me paperwork that he would forward my registration to the next event if I still wanted to come, which again I couldn't lol, but I still appreciate Mr. Strother for taking the effort in trying to help me make it down to Atlanta.

I hope everything works out.

Take care.

One of the great aspects about this country is our freedom of speech. However, when you abuse your first amendment rights to extort and slander other persons, our judicial system treats your actions as serious crimes and with specific legal remedies.

Your recent action of extortion - threatening to continue to attempt to cause harm to my name and business until we send you money has serious legal consequences that could impact you for a very long time. (ref: www.armusic1.com/contact - ticket# 10724 / Email: ALL )
