Yes, it is a scam. I have not had any dealings personally with Eric Zanetis, but his father Alex Zanetis scammed me (for more money than I had sense at the time) back in the early 90's and I would bet the apple does not fall far from the tree. It really is too bad, because Alex and Eric both have enjoyed legitimate success in the music business which is what drew me in, but it seems that once success wanes, morality goes by the wayside. Hope this helps.
