Just a heads up they are at it again.
I can pinpoint it actually.
Admin come to the forum.
I messaged one venue today and it's been the only message I sent from any number on ESA this year so it is definitely them.
It was in PTA Montana venue is Satin and Stone.
I received a call from an apparent Sargent named ZULU.
He says the lady I paid from ESA I used counterfeit money and she gave them my number because the money came from me apparently.
Do not fall for this and can admin of the website please remove that venue ASAP!!!
Satin & Stone -- Response to the above post
We have become aware of the above post and feel it necessary to provide some clarification from Satin & Stone's side.
Firstly, Satin & Stone categorically denies any involvement whatsoever in the alleged incident described above. Neither the owners nor the management of Satin & Stone have any involvement in, knowledge of, or association with any alleged "police scam", counterfeit-money matter or any similar activity.
We operate Satin & Stone as a legitimate business and have absolutely no reason or intention to become involved in anything that could jeopardise the venue, our reputation, our service providers or our clients.
We have taken this matter up directly with ESA Head Office, and ESA has advised us to provide our response directly on this thread. We are therefore doing exactly that, so that punters can consider both sides of the story before forming an opinion.
It is also important to point out that the post appears to be based entirely on an allegation made by an unreliable poster, without any supporting evidence linking Satin & Stone or its management to the alleged conduct.
While we cannot say with certainty who is behind the post, we cannot exclude the possibility that it may have been made by a disgruntled former service provider, or by somebody with another personal or commercial grievance against Satin & Stone. We are aware that not everyone has been happy with changes made since the venue came under its current management. However, we will not make accusations against any particular individual without evidence.
What we can say with certainty is that Satin & Stone has no involvement in the alleged scam described in this post.
We therefore ask existing and prospective clients not to make decisions about our venue or the reputable service providers working from it based solely on unsubstantiated allegation made by an unreliable poster.
Should anyone have information or supporting evidence that they believe is relevant to the allegation made in this thread, we invite them to provide it to ESA for investigation and consideration.
In the meantime, we respectfully ask punters to consider our response alongside the original allegation and make their own informed decision.
