Message to Upcoming Artistes: Beware of This Conman

Grandpa Records has issued a statement on a conman using the company’s name to swindle upcoming artistes.

“I would like to bring to your attention a con artist by the name of Calj Mwenyewe on Facebook. He has been using Grandpa Records’ name to con young artists.

If you check his profile, his title is “promoter at Grandpa Records.” A number of young upcoming artists brought this to our attention. He has been collecting money via M-Pesa from them, promising that he is working with Grandpa Records, saying he’ll book them for recordings and later will promote their music,of which he’s never done any.

After getting the cash, he does not answer their calls. Check the attached picture we downloaded from his facebook page. As a company, we have decided to do free production for about five artists that he’s conned, we just reported the matter to police. Please let the young artists and the public beware of such people.“
