Uh, yeah. If you bought a "VIP" ticket for Taste of Chaos from someone named "Jennifer Weds"? I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you are not a VIP for the tour, and as a matter of fact, don't even have tickets to it at all, even if you coughed up the requested $95. Although the person who is posing as a member of the promotional marketing team for the 2008 tour, it turns out she has nothing to do with it, and the issue is currently in the hands of the police, who are investigating the scam.
Atreyu stepped up and posted the details of the e-mails that have been sent around to people so you can identify the scam. In other words, if you get one of these, even if it's from someone other than "Jennifer Weds"? Don't fall for it, because it's not legitimate:
Dear ______: You have been chosen to receive two VIP tickets for the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour! Your name will be on the will call list plus one guest. Please be sure to bring a print out of the email and your photo ID when picking up your tickets. Will Call will be open one hour prior to showtime. Have a great time and keep rockin!Sincerely,
Jennifer Weds

Taste of Chaos 2008
Others letter are more specific and say within the body:
"receive two VIP tickets for the Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour 2008 in Denver, CO on February 29th, 2008. Your name will appear on IDIOT PILOTS guestlist. Please bring a valid photo id."... " This guestlist spot is valid for you PLUS ONE GUEST"
It's sad that people have nothing better to do than try to scam people in this way... but it's also sad that people fall for scams. Not to mock people who are out $95 too much, but did you also give your bank account number to that nice man from Nigeria who is going to give you a sweet cut of a few million dollars, so long as you hold on to it for him for a while?
