The Cashflow camp recently went public on Richie B's talk show on Hot 102 to clear the air, following allegations by upcoming artistes that they have received calls from scammers claiming to be representatives of the record label.
According to Buju Wayne, publicist for Cashflow Records, unscrupulous persons have been calling artistes and making promises of an exclusive tour with I-Octane in exchange for a payment of $50,000. "The person a tell lie that his name is DJ Neil, and that in exchange for $50,000 he can arrange a tour with I-Octane," he said.
Wayne says a victim of the scam called the real Cashflow Neil out of curiosity, and that was how the scam was discovered.
"Luckily he had a number for DJ Neil or else he would have paid the money and Cashflow would have got a bad name," he said.
According to Wayne, artistes should reject any approaches made by any individual under the disguise of Cashflow to solicit money. "Get in contact with DJ Neil or Father P, no other person can conduct business on behalf of Cashflow," he said.
victims He also encouraged, "Persons who might be victims of the ongoing scam, especially those in Montego Bay should go to the police."
Wayne also said, "Cashflow would like to extend an apology to anybody that might have been affected by the negative act."
So far two persons from the Montego Bay area, are alleged to have made complaints to Cashflow regarding the scam.
According to Israelyte, one of the alleged artistes who fell victim to the scam, he received a text saying: 'A mi DJ Neil and I want you on I-Octane islandwide tour ... we are requesting new artistes and you should come to Kingston right away.'
The artiste says he was excited about the potential breakthrough, and decided to make his way to Kingston carrying part of the money for travelling expenses that the scammer requested.
While on his way he was told by the scammer to stop at Spanish Town road, and leave the money at a particular location.
Israelyte says on his way to the location, he called the number but got no answer. That led him to call the real DJ Neil.
"To di young artiste dem, investigate any call yu get first, because if mi neva have the real DJ Neil numba, wi cudda dead or serious things happen," Israelyte warned.
In the meantime, Cashflow has been gearing up for the release of their new rhythm called Affliction, as well as the release of the highly anticipated Cashflow/ I-Octane Japan album.
