Hi All! I'm new here.

I just received an invitation from this service, through myspace, and the first thing I did was Google them. That's how I found this forum. From what I've seen, they're out to ripoff musicians. But, I'll withhold final judgement while waiting on a reply. But...I won't hold my breath.

Here's my reply and their invitation:

Hello Ally,

If your company and this message is legit, why not go the extra step and start the message with a personalized greeting? Maybe something like "Hello Mickey"? If you do reply, and assure me that you're not going to ask me to pay for your service, then I'll consider your offer.

Sincerely,
Mickey Richard
