We contacted Walt Reeder Entertainment, a booking agent for musicians to book artists for a festival. Walt sent a contract booking Ziggy Marley for a show in May, 2018, and we wired him 12,500.00. About one month later I contacted Walt since another payment was due on the contract. He stated at that time there was a problem, but he would solve it. Another week or so passed and I contacted Walt again, at that time he stated Ziggy wanted more than double the contract price, we refused. I feel I was sent a fraudlent contract at the outset and Walt reeder entertainment will not return any calls, nor retum our funds. DO NOT EVER BOOK WITH THIS FRAUD!
Walt Reeder continues to take money from promoters and run off. I have seen him take $30,000 from a friend and promise he just needs more time to send the money back. 3 months later he has not sent one dime. He has taken another $2700 from my company through a bank wire transfer to book a rap artist. I talked to the artist manager and they said Walt Reeder never sent them a dime of our deposit. Walt Reeder then told me he would send the rap artist the money by Wed of that week. Two weeks later the money had not been sent. He refuses to get on the phone. His staff says he is out of town at the moment. Before you send him the money he will call you 100 times a day. After you send it, you will be lucky to hear from him once. He told the promoter that he stole the $30.000 from "All you can do is sue me, Ive been sued before." He has found a way to make millions of dollars and leve the consumer with one legal recourse: litigation.
It is hard to get that money back after a lawsuit. He has found a loop hole for Grand Larcerny and wire fraud in America. He is laughing at the legal system in America. Promoters give him a big deposit, then they spend money on radio, TV and printed material to advertise the event, The buyer gets a bad name when the act does not show up. He is a very evil person to continue doing this. It also hurts other shows that come to your city because your city gets a bad rep when acts don't show up. If you have partners on the show pooling thier money whoever sends the money to Walt Reeder looks bad and will lose friends or business partners. I'm sure there are people who have been put in the hospital trying to explain how Walt Reeder ran off with the groups money. The last time I talked to him he tried to sell us Young Jeezy as a party host for $40.000 while he still owes us money. The police in Jenkintown PA must be his cousin or brother. We will be pursuing every legal recourse to save other promoters and thier city from being embarrassed and robbed. This is robbery and it should not be protected by the law of the land. Walt Reeder and his staff belong in prison for a good 15 to 20 years. He is robbimg people everyday, 24 hours a day. My heart goes out to the hundreds of promoters who have been robbed ny Walt Reeder. I know four promoters who were robbed in my own city. He sends you a contract gets your money through bank-wire fraud and then he vanishes. That is my opinon from what I have experienced with Walt Reeder. I have witnessed a robbery. I tired to pay by credit card but he said he only took Bank Wire, Western Union or Money Gram. We did a bank wire to his account. After that he has been hard to catch up with.
