\n\tIt has come to our attention that individuals are fraudulently using the Billboard<\/em> name and trademark to run what seems to be a cryptocurrency scam operation. This is not legitimate and not in any way affiliated with Billboard<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf you have fallen victim to such a scam operation, it is suggested that you contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) on its website<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tBeware of Scammers Posing as Billboard\u00a0Contributors\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tAs always, Billboard <\/em>does not solicit any sort of compensation for music or artist promotion. Websites and social media accounts promising coverage in exchange for profit share paid via cryptocurrency are not affiliated with us in any way. Confirmed examples of such scam pages include musicpromobillboard.com\/login and musicpromobillboard.com\/register.<\/p>\n

\n\tSimilarly, any \u201ccompany\u201d identifying itself as Billboard <\/em>or Billboard International, LLC that invites you to register for paid coverage online or in print is an imposter. Please do not send them payment of any kind. It\u2019s possible they will reach out to you via a false email such as info@billboard.technology.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnfortunately, this issue is not the first of its kind. Scammers on social media<\/a> have been posing as Billboard <\/em>contributors for years, ripping photos and biographical information from real writers\u2019 profiles and reaching out to private individuals and\/or musicians \u2014 often targeting smaller artists \u2014 to offer coverage in exchange for money. If this happens to you, block the user and report them to the social media platform on which you were contacted. <\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s also important to note that Billboard <\/em>does not have the power to directly ban or freeze social media accounts purporting to be contributors. This is why it is particularly important for individuals to be vigilant about not falling for scams.<\/p>\n

\n\tAuthentic Billboard <\/em>contact information is available on our website<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
