I shared this via social media in the different musician groups I'm a part of there. It's not the first time this type of scam has made the rounds and it won't be the last. I'm sure the local info in the email I rec'd will be changed based on where your band is. That being said, here's what I shared:
SCAM ALERT:
The following email from "Brad Withers" - withersbradshawho5@gmail.com, came to us recently about performing at a wedding in December @ a private residence on Asbury Rd in zip 45255.

I contacted the actual property owner and they verified there is NOT a wedding at their house. The scammer further asked:

I'm sure everyone knows a scam when they see one. I'm sharing this with the group just in case anyone else rec'd the email or hasn't seen this type of phishing scam.
