SCAM ALERT: Caleb Morgan of New Line Management based outside of Atlanta, Ga has been offering fake buy ons for tours that don't exist such as Story Of The Year, AFI, Rise Against and extensions of the warped tour. If you are a young band and he approaches you with an offer for any of these tours or any large tours then ignore it he is a con artist and doesn't represent any of the acts he is selling buy on slots for.

Gonna need some evidence for this and then it might be a little more interesting, otherwise at the moment you're just writing something random, like so:

SCAM ALERT: Lady Gaga does not actually have a Poker Face, I beat her at poker because she became too excited when she got two pairs, I had a flush and beat her. If she challenges you to a game do not back down because of her single, she infact, does not have a poker face.

I can attest to this, I beat Gaga in poker four times last month.

P.s. Keep in mind that she does, however, actually have a disco stick.

How do we know you're not just holding a grudge against this Caleb Morgan?

Edit: Seems like this New Line Entertainment is pretty inactive, neither the guy's blog or the New Line Myspace has been updated in months.

If the OP is the same bright guy who posted this now-deleted Wikipedia entry, I wouldn't believe a word:


Caleb S. Morgan of New Line Management
== C ==aleb is the owner of a management company in Powder Springs, Atlanta. He has dealt with many big bands such as Hawthorne Heights, Bury Your Dead, Taproot, Beneath The Sky, and The Great american Beast. Many of these bands have dropped his management because of his Scams Taproot, Bury Your Dead, The Great American Beast, and Beneath They Sky all dropped him in early 2010 because of his negative intentions.
Caleb offers his clients various tour buy on, tours up-rising bands would dream to be on. He also offers sponsorships with various companies, offers distribution to record labels and fellow companies (clothing, equipment,food, etc. etc.). He sends you a contract between himself, and the tour manager setting up the tour you are buying onto, listing all the info and dates of the tour. He makes you sign a contract, and send him the money that the contract states via money gram through your local Wal-mart TM. After you send him the money, it is like pulling teeth to get in-touch with him, he gives you excuses such as he is busy or in a bible study. You later find out that Caleb forges various tour managers names on the contract he will send you.
The tours are 100% fake, and he scams you with fakes forged contracts, to send him some cash. He offers tours to no name, vulnerable, local bands, such as Warped Tour, Tours with My Chemical Romance, The Devil Wears Prada, Killswith Engage, and Bleeding Through.
He Also offers such things such as The Cohnen O'Brien Show (which is no longer on the air shows how bright Caleb is), The jimmy Kimble show, Redbull, and getting your song in a Paramount pictures film. Which he has non of these available.
In early 2010 The Great American beast (Trust Kill Record) found out Caleb has scammed them out of money in many different ways, one was that they bought onto a Killswitch tour which was fake, it is unknown if they are taking legal action. A band from Long island (The Awakening) was also promised that tour and later found out it was a scam. Shortly after the news of the scam, Beneath The Sky dropped New Line Management.
Caleb Wrote a book which is basiclly about how he was raped by his karate teacher, and found God. The story is very touching. He promotes himself as a christian, and a good hearted person.
this biography is from his website www.calebsmorgan.com -In high school Caleb began his career in the music industry as a promoter for Christian shows. While he was promoting he was offered a job with Arista/Timebomb Records starting in Street Team Marketing then landing an A&R position. He has been managing artists for the past 7 years. He currently lives in Powder Springs, Georgia where he runs an Artist Management Company: NewLine Management, and represents a variety of musical artists. This is his first book. Caleb decided to write this book, because he wanted to let people know that no matter how dark the place or how deep the hole that there is always light to be given and always a path to get out.
Caleb portrays himself as a christian, and suckers you into trusting him, and into sending him money, but his true colors show when it is too late.
He mostly attacks small bands who doesn't have money to hire a lawyer.
The one good thing Caleb does do for his clients is set up recording time in a top notch recording studio, but only to make commission for sending a band to the studio. Other then that he is a cold hearted, fake Christian, unfortunately God will forgive him, but hopefully no other bands will send him money, and lose out on it.

She's an awful bluffer. She pushed all-in off the flop on me, then continued to ramble on about some kind of new concealer from Maybelline or something attempting to cover up her lack-of-handness. Called it with a pair of 10's, and won it. Good stuff.

This is actually helpful to upcoming bands who are approached with these offers. When we put together the Small Towns Burn a Little Slower, Sullivan, The Weakend and Madison tour years ago a dude like what you mentioned offered to book the midwest dates and ended up not booking anything. We had to scramble with 2 weeks before the kick-off and completely re-adjust the routing. The same guy then came back and offered to put The Weakend on the second AP.net tour, checked with Tate and he made an announcement to avoid the guy via the website.

Nice. She wore sunglasses with lipstick glued to them when she played me. Fucking hipster, that one.

A basic rule of thumb with the industry (for young bands) is that anyone who promises you the world, something really amazing almost too good to be true.....is probably not worth trusting. You can lose so much money, time, credibility and motivation by trying to take those offers.
I got ripped off for $6,000 when I was 18, and it took me so long to even care about music again after that.

There's the official post from the Vans Warped Tour, and I know plenty of bands that have attested to the scam.



Lady Gaga only has a good poker face when she's sober.
