Dancehall duo Twin of Twins claim that they are the latest victim of Internet fraud.

Member Patrick Gaynor, told THE STAR that a fake myspace page has been created by persons posing as if they are connected to them.

"Di people dem build a fake myspace for Twin of Twins. These people are collecting money for shows and dubplates," Gaynor said.

"Weh day mi go Florida and a man approach wi and a seh how him give wi money fi show and wi don't turn up. Even dubplate people seh dem link wi pon MySpace. Dem seh dem pay for dem and dem nuh get no dubs."

Twin of Twins is not the only victim of Internet scammers, as Laden recently suffered the same fate. He said someone had been collecting money for shows and dubplates for him via his myspace page without his consent. He said he was booked by that person for five shows while he was on a three-month tour during the summer.

Since Gaynor is unable to detect the scammer, he urged people to visit the duo's correct page, myspace.com/thetwinoftwins. In addition, he said persons wishing to book the group for shows and dubplates, should contact 561-843-2581 or 876-368-6597 before making any monetary transactions.

be careful

"We find out bout this couple months ago but we figure seh a some fanatic, we never know seh it so serious," Gaynor told THE STAR. "We are asking the public to make sure they go to the right myspace page. We won't be held responsible fi anybody weh get conned, so be careful."

While he is aware of the situation, Gaynor said he has no idea how many persons have been swindled. He said they only found out about the scam because they were approached by victims of it.

However, he has not reported the matter to the police. "Wi nuh report it yet. We should, but mi nuh really have any faith inna dem," he said while complaining that not much had been done in relation to the death of his six-year-old son.

A quick search by THE STAR revealed at least two other myspace pages that the Twins say do not belong to them.

The Twin of Twins duo has also been a victim of piracy as volumes of their CDs have been bootlegged on a wide scale.
