Some Maltese Miley Cyrus fans might have been scammed in a scamming website discovered a few days ago by the Maltese autorithies.
A site by the name of Festival At Large promoted an event that was supposed to be held in Malta this month featuring major artistes like Kylie Minogue, Jon Bon Jovi, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, went “down for maintenance” yesterday amid serious doubts about it.
The site listed a several Maltese companies as their sponsors, and when approached by the autorithies, these companies denied partnership with this site.
The website, claimed five out of 15 hugely famous pop stars would be shortlisted to participate in a unique series of “musicals” after garnering enough votes from their fans. Fans from all over the world would have to submit an online payment of €1 to vote, entering a draw to win tickets to the “exclusive” event to which only a few hundred people would be allowed in, strictly by invitation. The winners could also win a “Red Carpet Package” including an all expenses paid trip with VIP access, $10,000 cash and “special gift bags valued at over $15,000”.
The website also thanked the government for support but a spokesman for the parliamentary secretary responsible for culture, Mario de Marco said the government was not sponsoring the event in any way. “Nor is it involved in any manner in its organisation or hosting,” the spokesman said, adding the government was informed some months ago about the plan to hold such an event but the meeting held with foreign organisers was “merely informative”.
“No support or assistance was sought from the government and no subsequent contact was made.”
Meanwhile, the Office of the President denied having already given permission for the organisers to use Verdala Palace, one of the locations the website claims will be used.
“Although this office has been approached with this request, the decision is still being discussed and, hence, its details on the mentioned website have not been authorised and instructions have been given to have said details deleted.”
Interestingly, a number of artists who were named as being involved with the festival up until last week were removed from the site one by one, including Michael Bublé, Bryan Adams, Duffy and Hilary Duff. But others remained, including Black Eyed Peas, the Jonas Brothers, Christina Aguilera, Nelly Furtado, Justin Bieber and Zac Efron.
Other people added “I knew it! i knew it was a scam, especially the part where it said that there is no tv promo!!”
We surely hope no Miley fans were scammed in this horrible scam.
