This is terrible. I am a Canadian SP and I fell for this scam very recently :( Oct 15-18, 2010. Appt. was booked via email from mcdermottrob@yahoo.com in response to the message quoted above (an email address which no longer works) and via phone with the 'manager' (561)542-0340. The other phone # used was (954)305-2152. In similar fashion, I got flown to Florida on short-notice to supposedly meet the Linkin Park drummer. The scam is indeed very believable as the supposed manager 'Rob McDermott' was professional in his tone and reassuring in all his communication. I ended up spending a weekend with this crackhead 'Rob Weiner' all the way till the end believing he was the real Rob Bourdon from Linkin Park. The guy is a master impersonator and fraud artist. All the while receiving reassurances that 'Rob' the manager was coming with his money and credit cards, I agreed to 'lend' this b*****d money which he shamelessly blew gambling at the Seminole Casino in Canyon Creek, FL, buying crack (right before my eyes), and even buying clothes for himself. I am an educated woman and I am still in shock as to how I was able to let these b*****ds rob me dry. Not only did I not get paid for my services but I ended up spending $7000 of my own money on this pathetic crack-head. I will try to dispute the charges with my CC company and see what I can do. Not only was I badly robbed, but for 3 days (in good faith) I put up with the company of a very disturbed, unstable individual who made me feel like Hell. It is really sad that there are people like this out there.

I got it too.

I got it too...

I got it too..
