Rock band Estranged scammed by local con artist


PETALING JAYA: What could have been Malaysian band Estranged's greatest career high turned out to be its most damaging low, as a promised slot in a major London music festival turned out to be a scam by a local con artist.

On Dec 4, The Star reported that the band had been offered a slot to perform at the Apple Music Christmas Festival in London at the end of this year, alongside big names like Metallica, Radiohead and more.
