WARNING: SCAM!!!! I would like to strongly warn you about a current scam that specifically targets composers. A few days ago, I received an email from a “Mariam Seabrook” at OPUS CONNECT requesting a 20-minute score for a documentary about electric vehicles. I received a contract and was supposed to be paid 8,000 CHF. After I submitted a first draft, 4,000 CHF was transferred to me, but it was withheld by a bank called northerntrustfiduciary.com for review due to international money laundering concerns. Now I’m supposed to transfer 306 € for verification and, later on, scan my ID and submit it via the website. This all seemed pretty strange to me!!! I looked into it further and was alerted to the scam by several sources. So, dear colleagues, please don’t fall for this extremely insidious scam!! Best regards, Andreas
