My brother and I, recently received an offer from Big Cat Records in Atlanta,GA. My brother claims that he sent music to their e-mail address a while back ([email protected] i think??) and now they are answering back to us.

This started on Sat...they called us up and told us to send our music to DJ Drama for consideration, then they said if he liked it..he would possibly fly us out to Atlanta. DJ Drama supposedly liked it and so did other A&R's.

Recently he told us that DJ Drama will be able to get our music heard on a popular radio station is Atlanta (Might be V103). Well, he told us that it was $1,000 to get the slot on the radio. If the people in Atlanta like it then we'd be getting a 200,000 signing bonus. We told him that we didn't really have the money so he sad that he would pay for it. The only thing was that he wanted us to pay $500 for the slot.

We told him that we can't do it through a wire transfer or bank account because we've been scammed before and we weren't trying to do that again. He said that he understood and told us that we could come to Atlanta and give him the money. Except he wont be paying for our airfare or hotel accomodations when we come. Does this seem sketchy to anybody or has anyone dealt with them before?
