Lead Singer of Emarosa and Dance Gavin Dance Scams Fans

Ever since Myspace was founded in 2003, social networking has been one of the most popular means of communication not just in the United States, but all over the globe. Individuals as well as bands could create and customize their own pages; a lot of bands even gained fans and recognition because of this. Now, in 2011, Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr are a few of the numerous social networking sites. Some band members such as Hayley Williams of Paramore and Sierra Kusterbeck of VersaEmerge, use Twitter as an outlet to converse with fans on a personal level--something they could never do before. Others abuse the privilege.

Jonathan Monroe Craig, singer of Dance Gavin Dance and Emarosa, has been using his Twitter account to sell MacBooks--the only problem is that he never delivered. A handful of people who visited his account frequently--mostly fans of Jonny's--had emailed him about the laptops, and he promised that he was for real. He even went as far as saying, "you can trust me; plus using Money Gram [is better than using PayPal, because it] has receipts so we both have proof," to one gullible fan. The two exchanged phone numbers as well, and the voice was unmistakable. It was indeed Jonny on the other line.

When the time came to do the exchange, the fan did his part by sending Jonny the $600, but to this day still hasn't received a laptop from him.  No one has.  Mr. Craig is too busy scamming away and trying to cover his ass to give a damn.  He's also claiming that his Twitter was "hacked," that the number that everyone called was fake, and that everyone will get a refund.  So far, no one has gotten their money back.  Nice move, Mr. Craig.

Be careful with who you trust on the internet, kids.
