Report: Bogus DAVID LEE ROTH Booker Scams Clubs

August 3, 2006

According to Pollstar.com, a con man posing as the booking agent for David Lee Roth has scammed at least three different U.S. nightclubs and two of them, including The Venue in Scottsdale, Ariz., lost thousands of dollars in deposits.

Diamond Dave switched his representation in May from CAA to Monterey International where Garry Buck is the responsible agent. The scammer appears to be working out of the Chicago area and has used a variety of names. Much to the real agent's chagrin, he has even claimed to be "Gary Buck."

Pollstar maintains the industry standard database of legitimate booking contacts. Both David Lee Roth and the real Garry Buck urge inexperienced club bookers to beware of such scams offering the artist for what seems like a song unless they like to watch their money "Jump" off a cliff.
