International Criminal Charges laid against Portuguese singer Yolanda Soares (Iolanda Isabel d'Albuquerque Pina Soares) and her Manager Carlos Vicente

The charges relate to obtaining goods and services by deception from international sponsors
Upon advice of Australian Authorities in Melbourne who have been investigating the illusive Australian Music Marketing Abroad (AMMA)and Mr Norman McCourt (apparently not a Director nor Editor of the A n'R - artist, repertoire and international licensing),criminal Charges have been laid against little known Portuguese singer Yolanda Soares (Iolanda Isabel d'Albuquerque Pina Soares), her manager Carlos Vicente (Carlos Alberto Salvador Vicente)and "By The Music"(son o No.014672/020711 - contribuinte No. 506 227 871).
"By the Music" is a Portuguese registered business.
Charges laid for "obtaining goods and services by deception".
These charges relate to a National Marketing Campaign for her world tour , a sponsorship obtained with the use of fraudulent so-called "AMMA / An`R" music award from Australia.
Yolanda Soares and her management now also have serious questions to answer to shareholders of Portuguese bank Montepio.

INTERNATIONAL SPONSORS HASTILY ABANDON YOLANDA SOARES 2010 WORLD TOUR PROJECT

"We no longer see any viable role for Yolanda Soares in our global marketing efforts and have ended our unofficial verbal relationship which was based on good faith, with immediate effect."
In an unprecedented move on the eve of the launch of the new CD entitled “METAMORPHOSIS” by Yolanda Soares to the Portuguese Public via Portuguese JORNAL EXPRESSO and Blitz Magazine (In May 2010), where a total of 160 000 free copies of 5 songs from this new work are being distributed according to Portuguese Marketing Representatives “GOODNEWS”, The Strutt Family Trust today made a public announcement that it is terminating their sponsorship deal with the Portuguese singer Yolanda Soares with immediate effect, even though the verbal contract was supposed to have been for a lengthy period and would have endorsed her 2010 World Tour.
This termination appears to be the result of an ongoing non-compliance by the artist’s management and the artist herself relating to a very costly International PR exercise publicising a World Tour in at least 16 Major International Cities, as well as the apparent “winning of a coveted An'R Award in Australia”.
"We no longer see any viable role for Yolanda Soares in our global marketing efforts and have ended our unofficial verbal relationship which was based on good faith, with immediate effect."
"It must be made very clear that we pride ourselves in having integrity and presenting nothing less than total honesty, it is not possible to be associated with someone who claims to have won an award such as An'R, which clearly does not hold any international validity according to any legal or musical Australian Authorities" a spokesperson for The Strutt Family Trust said today in Manhattan, New York.
The Mayfair Collection (Pty) Ltd has already ended their unofficial sponsorships, while The Mayfair Collection (Suisse) SA has publically distanced itself from the singer/performer already a few weeks ago upon hearing of a sponsorship deal she signed with Portuguese Bankers Montepio.
“We are officially terminating our relationship with Miss Soares and wish her well in the future,” a Mayfair Collection (Pty) Ltd. spokesperson in Cape Town (South Africa) said.
It is reported that the legal services of leading firm of Lisbon based Attorneys have been retained in respect of recovering financial damages caused by the deception.
Neither the singer’s manager Carlos Vincente nor Miss Yolanda Soares were willing to comment.

Little known Yolanda Soares, local Portuguese singer "cashes in" with Sponsorship from 170 year old Montepio Bank with worthless "An`R / AMMA Magazine

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY , HOWEVER , THIS TIME IT "SEEMS LEGAL" - NO WONDER PORTUGAL WILL BE NEXT AFTER GREECE TO COME BEGGING FOR MONEY - HAVE SOME ARTISTS NO SHAME OR SCRUPLES , OR DIGNITY ?
"An`R / AMMA AWARD"
So, who are they ?
NO OFFICIAL RECORD OF THEM BEING REGISTERED ANYWHERE
NO OFFICIAL RECORD OF WHO VOTES FOR THE AWARD
NO OFFICIAL RECORD OF WHO AUDITS THE AWARD
NO OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE FIRM IN AUSTRALIA PAYING TAX
NO OFFICIAL KNOWLEDGE OF WHO THEY ARE BY UNIVERSAL MUSIC IN AUSTRALIA
Here is how my team (and certain Australian Authorities ) see things….
Who does not want to be coining it in like Madonna?
Place adverts on free sites and mass spam e-mails.
Attend 1 MIDEM function, or dupe people to represent you at a MIDEM function.
People respond to spam, MIDEM, free adverts on free blogs and websites and chat pages specifically orientated to the music industry Etc.
You only want non Australian clients for this to work.
Charge a fee to potential wannabe musicians who are gasping for some PR and status-quo improvement, plus promises of potential contracts with big named distributors.
Get a P.O. Box Address where people send money to.
Make sure they only send physical CD, an MP3 could be traced or too much work to deal with – after all this is a scam, so, money in, not out.
Bank the foreign money orders – or cash them.
Buy a barcode (ISSN 13 NUMBERS +/- AUD $35.99).
Possibly recycle the ISSN Barcode over and over.
Print the odd monthly or quarterly Magazine (eg. in China, 40 pages, full color, low gr paper +/- AU$1300.00 per month ?) that you can send to your “exclusive” clients – do not forget, you may not sell these magazines as they are actually not genuinely recognised or accredited by any relevant music bodies.
Make sure the recipients of the magazines are part of a select mailing list – no public enquiries allowed.
Charge an extra fee for “AnR Awards” or/and “ AnR Award nominations” (charge up to an extra AUD $2700.00 for this).
Cancel the “award” ceremony at the last minute for some reason beyond your control (blame the caterer or an offshore volcano) and then simply mail something that will make the poor sods believe they won something.
Optional is in which order you wish to follow the above 14 procedures.
Here are entertaining assortments of comments from Blogs on An'R to “tickle your fancy”.

I believe these people are criminals and Norman McCourt should be in jail.
I have asked repeatedly to be removed from their spam list and the deluge of shite continues.
I have been referred to as "a turkey" by McCourt who oddly then continued to beg for my business. When I pointed out that I already have two publishing deals, one of which covers Australia, he responded with some boneheaded drivel asking why I need two deals in Australia......seems his school covered joined up thinking the same day they covered manners and McCourt was absent.
I have reported him to Telstra and I hope they prosecute him.

Norman McCourt and AMMA are crooks and frauds. Don't send them any CDs or money. Any one who asks an artist for money to license their product is a fraud...Artists get paid for their licensed products!

Australia isn’t just a short drive up the road if you want to have a "discussion" about monies paid or services (allegedly) provided. I'm sure there are plenty of locally based promoters in the UK who can work with you to help get you to where you would like to be.
The logic of the enterprise never made any sense to me: why would someone in the UK or the US or Canada for example, want to send hard earned money to an elusive organisation based in a country that is about as far away as you can possibly get from the mainstream music markets in the Northern Hemisphere?
It might make some sense for local artists to consider using their services because at least you have some recourse through Consumer Affairs or similar agencies if you find that you need to have that kind of a discussion but for overseas musicians?
Never!
In the meantime all the best for your career and make sure you spread the "word" about this particular SCAMMER to anyone you know in the UK that might even remotely be tempted by any email "offers" from Australia.
Cheers,
Andrez

Hey, I've been getting emails from this guy for ages - I have no idea how he got my email. I decided to see what all the fuss was about and came across this forum. I think that the contributors to this thread are amazing and have informed and educated me on what was clearly a scam.
I'm so grateful that there are people out there taking time from their busy lives to ensure that aspiring musicians like myself don't get f*ck*d over!
Thanks to all of you, you have made my morning a very interesting one! If only I didn't have to go to work and could read this thread right to the end.
So many Q's - will Norman ever reply? Are Lynda and Norman the same?
Are Otto and Norman the same? How many faces (both legitimate and illegitimate) does Norman have? Will he now get hold of my details and threaten me? Who knows?

Funny... they have been quiet around here for ages. However, today I received an email that just says, "An'R accepts music by submission form only.
If you would like to receive music submission form
Email:

With the subject header

Followed by a poster graphic for Canadian Music Week. I know the organizers of CMW wouldn't want to be associated this this crew and apart from having the graphic in the email body there is no reference to any association.
Anyway, just another "heads up" that these assholes are still at their game and will likely snag another uninformed newbie with their deceit.

We have been a theatrical agent in the UK for over 20 years and also I'm also a lover of Folk Music.
I would first of all like to congratulate all the genuine folk that have contributed to this thread and shown a real sense of community.
AMMA are saying that they will take a percentage of the artist's earnings which then by definition means they become the artist's agent, personal manager, publisher or promoter.
A guide from the THE BRITISH EQUITY UNION is;
never pay an upfront fee to an agent/ personal manager or promoter.
A legitimate agent, publisher, manager or promoter would never ask for money upfront from an artist to join or register with their company.
And if WE take the time to look after our fellows, and are then referred to as LOSERS by some spurious shady outfit, then I would like to say, I am proud to be a member of THE MUDCAT LOSERS.
WELL DONE EVERYONE!

In closing…
Personally I am wondering why a business professional looking to do business in their country and abroad would allow themselves to get involved in such negative conversations via internet which obviously is public domain and expect people not to concerned with the company's validity and credibility.
I mean, seriously, if you do music, then do music.
If you are a real establishment, then create a positive presence on the web, like a website and customer or client testimonials so it will help promote your business and help reduce threads like these.
If you are an established company with established clients then you shouldn't have a problem putting up a website with a valid address, phone number and such.
Why does that seem to insight such angry responses from a company that claims to do business with the likes of Amy WinehouseAmy WinehouseAmy Winehouse or anyone associated with her?
I mean, all of the majors, major independents and independent record companies all have a presence on the web.
That is the new way. I mean, what sells more cds or downloads?
I'd have to say downloads.
Actual physical media sales are taking a downward turn since the introduction of internet downloads and file sharing.
So, having a web presence is essential if you want to convince anyone working or surviving in the music business that you can actually be effective when promoting and marketing any artist, period.
...
I received an email actually asking people to submit their music for an award. It read as follows:
It's not too late to have your music nominated for this inaugurate award.
You can mail your music direct to:
An'R Magazine.
PO Box 319
VIC 3065
AUSTRALIA
Or for a submission form email:
anrpub@bigpond.net.au
Deadline for submissions is the 14th of December 2009.
Recipients will be published for MIDEM 2010.
I decided to send something just for the heck of it.
I received an email regarding a letter of offer. Nothing was mentioned about any award or award ceremony.
It read as follows:
Thank you for the excellent music and information you forwarded to us.
I'm sorry if it has taken us some time to get back to you but we receive in excess of 100 CD's and demos each week.
I have today had a good listen to your excellent offering and have replied in writing to you with a letter of offer.
You should receive this in the mail in the next 7 to 10 days.
We have affiliations and associations with over 60 international labels and are expanding all the time!
Our work spans publishing, licensing, film and radio in many countries.
Recently AMMA was appointed international representative to the very prestigious Fmi Music Market Brasilia, Brazil.
AMMA also picked up AustralAsian agency for the giant UK labels Revolver Records & Heavy Metal Records.
We also have several number one artist, Grammy award winning artists and gold/platinum award winning artists and writers in our catalogues/roster.
Do give our letter of offer some serious consideration as we look forward to hearing more of you and your music in 2010.
Kindest Regards,
Norman McCourt. (Director- AMMA) (Editor- An'R artist, repertoire and international licensing)
So logic tells me that there has to be a sinister motive involved because in the follow up email, an award was never mentioned. Who’s to say that I didn't already have a publisher or vehicle to market my music overseas? And why wasn't an offer ever mentioned in the initial email?
Please, if you are really a credible company, just keep it real from the beginning.
If you are trying to sell something, then sell it.
Believe it or not, there are people who will actually purchase your services for face value as long as you are upfront about your purpose and can prove your credibility and abilities.
But if you are trying to hide, deceive or mislead things then you risk these type of conversations posted on the web that will ultimately aid to the destruction of your legitimate or illegitimate business.

Media Hure / Manipulator für Miete, nicht nur in den USA, aber auch Portugal.

Was ist ein Medien-Hure?
HIER sind nur 2 "Versionen" DER Definition des Begriffs
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/media_whore Aus Wiktionary, dem freien Wörterbuch
Eine Person, die Weitergabe oder die Übergänge von einem zum anderen Entertainment-Industrie basieren nur auf vorherige Popularität und nicht unbedingt legitim Talent versucht.
Lindsay Lohan ist als eine Hure Medien werden von vielen jungen Menschen, weil sie ihre Popularität verwendet in der TV-Industrie zu nutzen, eine Karriere in der Musikindustrie.
Eine Person, die mediale Aufmerksamkeit sehnt, jemand, der anscheinend nichts zu tun, wird im Blickpunkt der Medien stehen bleiben - in der Regel auf Kosten von jemand anderem.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=media+whore
MEDIA WHORES
Huren Media ist ein Begriff in den frühen 60er eingesetzt's während der Kampagnen und verwies auf Verlage und Redaktionen von Zeitungen, die nicht abdecken würde ein Kandidat ohne eine Anzeige zu kaufen. Das Buy wurde als ein "Küsschen" bezeichnet. Je mehr Geld ein Kandidat hatte die eher eine Geschichte, die sie aus dem "media Huren" bekommen würde. Wenn eine Kampagne machte eine Anzeige kaufen und zählte auf eine gute Story, aber dann enttäuscht waren, sie würden "kiss off" der Kauf mit einer Absage.
6 vorgeschlagen Schritte, um zu einem vollwertigen Medien-Hure.
1. Bringen Sie sich mit einem berühmten oder reichen Familie oder Sponsor
Wenn Ihre Familie ist nicht schon steinreich (wie die Hiltons) oder Sie nicht über einen berühmten Geschwister (wie Lindsay Lohan), nicht Bund. Sie können trotzdem versuchen, jemanden heiraten, berühmt (wie K-Fed hat) oder haben Sie Ihre Mutter zu heiraten ein berühmter Sportler (wie die Kardashians). Sein um berühmte Menschen ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt.
2. Leak ein Sex Tape
Sie müssen nicht mit einem Rockstar oder jemand anderes berühmten schlafen (obwohl es hilft). Sie brauchen noch nicht einmal, um Sex zu haben. Wenn Sie sind besorgt über Lampenfieber, finden Sie eine geeignete nachempfunden, und dicht, ihr Image in der Presse. In der Tat, mit sehr wenig Aufwand können Sie ein Porno-Doppelgänger zu gewinnen, um die Rolle spielen kann.
3. Seine darüber, was Ihr nicht angeschnallt
Auf dem roten Teppich, sind die Prominenten immer über die Designer-Kleidung sie tragen gefragt. THIS doesn "t Matter. Was bedeutet? Dass Sie scheinen vergessen zu einen BH tragen und / oder Höschen zu haben. Ein see-through oben auf dem roten Teppich garantiert Ihnen einige. Nicht eingeladen? Achten Sie auf die "versehentlich" Flashen cooch die Paparazzi, wie Sie Ihr Auto Ausfahrt bei der Preisverleihung nach der Party.
4. Drink. Get clean. Wiederholen.
Wenn Sie nicht Schnauben sind Drogen oder saufen sie, werden die Leute mich nicht erinnern, wer Sie sind. Gehen Sie auf eine Bender, erhalten verhaftet, gehen Sie auf Reha und es wieder tun. Wenn Sie nicht mehr den Magen Drogen und Alkohol, finden andere Sucht. Sexaholics. und chronische Spieler kann die Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen.
5. Ausverkauf an TV Execs
Also betrank / stoned / verhaftet / festgelegt. Und was jetzt? Finden Sie den nächsten TV exec und ihm sagen, was du getan hast. Während ein Prime-Time-Netz zeigen, kann nicht das Ergebnis, so kann man sich vor einer Kamera 24 / 7 zu finden für eine der vielen Kabelkanäle Verschlüsselungssystem für die "next big thing".
6. Machen Sie eine Musik-CD
Das sagt alles.
Ihr erster Fehler ist in der Annahme, dass bestimmte Personen tatsächlich eine Art "weltberühmt / international" Musiker zu kaufen.
Sie ergriffen haben, über die Kultur der Zerstreuung und bedeutungslos sozialen Aufstieg Tagesordnung der verzögert, dass rund durchdringen.
Sie stellen sie auf einer CD oder einer TV-Show und ermöglichen ihnen zu sprechen, weil sie möglicherweise gut aussehen und schon gar nicht, weil Sie nichts von geistigem Import spewing von ihnen hören.
Fact ist in Portugal 2010 Media Landschaft mit vielen hübschen Gesichtern und leeren Köpfen is who "Bericht", um die Massen dumm stellen übersät.
Niemand wird jemals verwechseln Frau Yolanda Soares mit Amalia Rodrigues
Media whore / manipulator for Hire - What is a media whore?

Felizmente, ninguém mais vai confundir a falta de talento da Sra. Yolanda Soares com a abundância de talento de Donna Amália Rodrigues e Mariza.
HERE ARE JUST 2 ASSORTED "VERSIONS" OF THE DEFINITION OF THE TERM http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/media_whore
Definition from Wiktionary, a free dictionary
A person who attempts to transfer or transfers from one entertainment industry to another based only on prior popularity and not necessarily legitimate talent.
Lindsay Lohan is considered to be a media whore by many young people because she used her popularity in the television industry to leverage a career in the music industry.
A person who craves media attention; someone who will apparently do anything to remain in the media spotlight - USUALLY AT THE EXPENSE OF SOMEONE ELSE.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=media+whore
MEDIA WHORES
Media whores is a term used in the early 60's during campaigns and refered to publishers and editors of newspapers that would not cover a candidate without an ad buy. The buy was refered to as a "little kiss". The more money a candidate had the more of a story they would get from the "media whores". If a campaign made an ad buy and counted on a good story but were then disappointed they would "kiss off" the buy with a cancelation.
6 suggested steps to becoming a fully fledged media whore.
1. Attach yourself to a famous or rich family
If your family isn’t already stinking rich (like the Hiltons) or you don’t have a famous sibling (like Lindsay Lohan), don’t fret. You can still try to marry someone famous (like K-Fed did) or have your mother marry a famous athlete (like the Kardashians). Being around famous people is a good starting point.
2. Leak a Sex Tape
You don’t have to sleep with a rock star or someone else famous (although it helps). You don’t even need to have sex. If you are worried about performance anxiety, find a suitable lookalike, and leak their image to the press. In fact, with very little effort you may be able to enlist a porn lookalike to play the role.
3. Its About What Your Not Wearing
On the red carpet, the celebrities are always asked about the designer clothes they are wearing. THIS DOESN”T MATTER. What does? That you appear to have forgotten to wear a bra and/or panties. A see-through top on the red carpet will guarantee you some . Not invited? Make sure to “accidentally” flash your cooch to the paparazzi as you exit your car at the awards after party.
4. Drink. Get Clean. Repeat.
If you aren’t snorting drugs or boozing it, people won’t remember who you are. Go on a bender, get arrested, go to rehab and do it again. If you can no longer stomach the drugs and alcohol, find another addiction. Sexaholics. and chronic gamblers can get attention too.
5. Sellout To TV Execs
So you got drunk/stoned/arrested/laid. Now what? Find the closest TV exec and tell him what you’ve done. While a prime time network show may not be the result, you may find yourself in front of a camera 24/7 for one of the many cable channels scrambling for the “next big thing”.
6. Make a Music CD
This says it all.
In Closing,
Your first mistake is buying into the assumption that certain people are actually some kind of “world famous / international” musicians.
They have taken over the culture of distraction and meaningless social advancement agenda of the retards that permeate around.
They put them on a cd or a TV show and allow them to speak because they may possibly look good and certainly not because you will hear anything of intellectual import spewing from them.
Fact is in PORTUGAL 2010 Media landscape is littered with lots of pretty faces and empty heads who” report” to the dumb down masses.
FORTUNATELY , nobody will ever confuse Ms. Yolanda Soares with Amalia Rodrigues OR Mariza.
Sadly, certain Sponsors in Portugal have just lowered the bar for what idiots might perceive is actually “music”.
INTERNATIONAL SPONSORS ABANDON YOLANDA SOARES 2010 WORLD TOUR PROJECT

In an unprecedented move on the eve of the launch of the new CD entitled “METAMORPHOSIS” by Yolanda Soares to the Portuguese Public via Portuguese JORNAL EXPRESSO and Blitz Magazine (In May 2010), where a total of 160 000 free copies of 5 songs from this new work are being distributed according to Portuguese Marketing Representatives “GOODNEWS”, The Strutt Family Trust today made a public announcement that it is terminating their sponsorship deal with the Portuguese singer Yolanda Soares with immediate effect, even though the verbal contract was supposed to have been for a lengthy period and would have endorsed her 2010 World Tour.
This termination appears to be the result of an ongoing non-compliance by the artist’s management and the artist herself relating to a very costly International PR exercise publicising a World Tour in at least 16 Major International Cities, as well as the apparent “winning of a coveted An'R Award in Australia”.
"We no longer see any viable role for Yolanda Soares in our global marketing efforts and have ended our unofficial verbal relationship which was based on good faith, with immediate effect."
"It must be made very clear that we pride ourselves in having integrity and presenting nothing less than total honesty, it is not possible to be associated with someone who claims to have won an award such as An'R, which clearly does not hold any international validity according to any legal or musical Australian Authorities" a spokesperson for The Strutt Family Trust said today in Manhattan, New York.
The Mayfair Collection (Pty) Ltd has already ended their unofficial sponsorships, while The Mayfair Collection (Suisse) SA has publically distanced itself from the singer/performer already a few weeks ago upon hearing of a sponsorship deal she signed with Portuguese Bankers Montepio.
“We are officially terminating our relationship with Miss Soares and wish her well in the future,” a Mayfair Collection (Pty) Ltd. spokesperson in Cape Town (South Africa) said.
It is reported that the legal services of leading firm of Lisbon based Attorneys have been retained in respect of recovering financial damages caused by the deception.
Neither the singer’s manager Carlos Vincente nor Miss Yolanda Soares were willing to comment.
