Should I Report This to Taxi?
Hey All--
I got this email from a company that got my contact info from my Taxi profile/bio. I just wondered if I should forward it to someone at Taxi so they're aware, of just mark it as spam and move on?:
"Good day,
I found your Taxi Music page, and hope it's alright to contact you this way.
I'm an A&R representative at SRL Networks in London, an artist relations company representing top emerging musicians around the world. We are looking for new music for our radio network, music licensing catalog and artist promotion/development roster, and I was wondering if you would be interested in sending us some music for consideration.
Subject to a successful review, SRL Networks will get your music heard by entertainment industry professionals and fans all over the world, and help facilitate music licensing and distribution deals, live events bookings, record label/music publisher deals and more. You will receive a detailed agreement once your music is accepted.

To submit music, send your best track in mp3 format, a professional photo and a link to your website to playlists@SkunkRadioLive.com. You can also include a short recorded message to introduce yourself to Skunk Radio Live's listeners. Alternatively, you can upload a video introducing yourself and performing your best track to YouTube and send us a link.
CONNECT with us on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to keep up-to-date with what's hot on independent music scenes around the world.

One word, yes. Dunno what TAXI can do but they should know a competitor is contacting Taxi members through the Taxi website.

Re: Should I Report This to Taxi?
Got this email too and found a Reddit thread where many others were 'found' via their Bandcamp or Soundcloud. No personal address or name used in the mails either. A few people who followed through say that in the next email they ask for a 7GBP submission fee for them to review your music. They may indeed eventually feature a submission on their small time site, but the verdict is still a scam overall.

I also got the email. I just deleted it since it sure felt like spam to me!

I also got this email. I thanked them but declined. It just didn't feel right.

I believe I once received this e-mail but it went straight to the Trash folder. Looked fishy.

Ok, thanks. You're right--there probably isn't much Taxi can do.
BTW--I set up instant notification for this post and didn't get any--so, sorry my reply is late.
