Well I looked around a little...but I didn't see anyone post this yet.

Which is a shocker to me, as it is such an original script I can't imagine anyone NOT finding it hilarious...if it is indeed a scam.

My question is....is it? I can't figure out the angle if so! Registration fees?

Or did I somehow get a legit ASEM?

^ Yes. But did they know you only compete in the "on ice" version of this prestigious completion?

He should go for the Bull Ring version, much more fun for the watching public

This scam was posted here (by Rodus, I believe) as early as last August.

I'm currently baiting this lad with two separate characters. Latest email from the lad to one of my characters informs me that all the places are now sold out...

Maybe he's overwhelmed with baiters? One can only hope. Anybody else here baiting this mugu?

[Edited for latest reply confirming they've blown me out]

...we got this week 1500 dance participants and 70 dance groups registered.
This is the maximum we can host in our Theaters and for Festival organisation,

For this reason we cannot register your group.

Bye and good dance,

I think it was my request for a vibrating water bed and mirrored ceiling that tipped the balance. Crying or Very sad

Don't these amateurs know that that is a STANDARD request for ANY self-respecting dancer?!!?

Psh. Amateurs. Mad

Yeah I must have had about 20 of those over the last couple of years. if I remember rightly a lot of them came from a .it email addy but can't remember of the top of my head where the IP tracked too.
