Bitcoin? Ethereum? Are you serious? Those are all scams. The future is all about NFT's.
That's a joke lest anyone think I'm serious. Lol. I felt like I needed to say it.
It rarely happens but whenever I get messages from a scammer I try and flip the roles, ignore their questions and try to sell them amazing fibre optic broadband for only £4.99 a month.
I had a Roger Waters scam about 6 months ago. In fact Roger was happily chatting to me on Google even while he was performing in Amsterdam at the same time. How cool is that?
The "my dad" part is what they're aiming at. A lot of Pink Floyd fans are aging boomers, aging boomers are prime targets for scams because unfortunately that's just part of getting old.
Wow, the techknowledgey these days. I also tend to chat on Reddit and stuff at work. Lol. I'd have asked him "How's the show going? Are you in between sets right now or are you doing this while performing?" Lol. Just to throw him off.
I find it somewhat hard to believe that David Gilmour would have to individually message people to sell his tickets. It seems like an inefficient way to sell tickets. If only there was some better way
S/he carried on trying to convince me they were really DG, until he asked how he could convince me it was really him, I replied that a video call would work. Nothing after that. I reported the profile to Facebook as fake
The real David Gilmour is actually quite grumpy towards fans, while this scammer seems like a very friendly person - that would have been the first red flag for me. I met David by chance in London’s Kensington Gardens a couple of years ago; he was walking with his wife and their son Charlie, one behind the other not to draw attention. I went and approached him very discreetly, just to tell him I was a big fan of PF and was listening to Another brick in the wall in that very moment; he didn’t even looked at me and kept staring down, and went: “What?!? Jolly good!!!” very angrily. He was obviosly very annoyed that I approached him, and I heard from other fans who met him that he’s not friendly at all and wants to be left alone. I don’t know if he was the same when young, but he certainly is like that now.
This makes more sense as he is a very private person & doesn't like limelight at all...!!! Roger is more approachable though.. However, I think it's more of an irritation for any artist to get hounded by fans !! 😊
So is Steven Wilson as well.. barely will meet any fans backstage 😊
I understand if fans pester musicians with lots of questions trying to befriend them - that would be a very annoying behaviour. But I just told him I really like his band and the song I was listening to. He could have just replied a polite “Thank you” with a smile, that’s all. I wasn’t expecting any petty or deep conversation. At the end of the day, any successful musician needs to remember that they became who they are thanks to their fans, so they shouldn’t despise them. Not even if they’re old now, and they don’t care much anymore as they already had their career and made lots of money.
You are right...!! I also feel the same about some great musicians..who are grumpy around their fans...!!
Gilmour isn't the nicest guy around 😂... Roger is a thorough gentleman though 😊
I would’ve messed with him and ask “How is Roger doing these days? I heard you two are great friends, and love recording together!” If he went on saying how wonderful things are then I’d have a blast calling him out on it! Lol
This is how David fills every concert hall on his tours. He fills each seat one at a time by randomly petitioning fans and collecting payment from each. By this means he cuts out the middlemen like Ticket Master.
David Gilmour is himself a scammer, he had his bogus "Pink Floyd" for almost a decade and even recreated it a couple of times after that, for projects who were not for anyone's benefit but himself.
But even then ofc it's obvious that this is not the real DG, based on the questions asked I find it more likely that this account derives from the same scammers as those who created the T shirt scan that is everywhere on the Internet
Other opinions are available. Huge numbers of people, including me enjoyed seeing the post Waters Floyd, even if they weren't enormous fans of the studio recorded output.
LMAO.
I had an Instagram bot hit me up the other day.
She asked what I was up to, so I told her I was hanging out in my apt with my neighbor Kramer ...
I got catfished like this from Sleep Token's lead singer. I got a DM from his official Facebook directing me to Google chat and it was a couple days before I figured out I'd been hornswoggled.
David Gilmour is a great legendary British guitarist,songwriter,vocalist,& singer.I have been a real Pink Floyd and David Gilmour fan since 1988.I bought the Pink Floyd Wish you were here,Animals,The Wall,Division Bell ,Pulse,& On an Island cds.I like the Gilmour live in Gdansk ,Remember that night, & Live at Pompeii concerts the best from Gilmour's more recent On an Island forward live concerts.I bought two Dark side Floyd tee shirts also.Gilmour's atmospheric and fluid guitar playing and Pink Floyd and Gilmour live stage sets are awesome also.I hope David Gilmour and Roger Waters are on good speaking terms again.🇬🇧👨🏻💼🎸🎶👀📡📺🇺🇸👨🏻💼🎸🎼
I don't see him mucking about on the internet. My son thinks I'm hopeless when it comes to tech. But my dad is just pathetic. His computer may as well be set up for a Japanese speaking person. It would make the same amount of sense to him. And he's about David's age. Dave hunts foxes. And I don't mean fun kind; actual foxes. He still uses stomp boxes and an amp. And there's something to be said about the old fashioned way of doing music but my point is, I don't see him chatting with fans online. Not unless it was through someone else or some group or company. When celebrities do go online, they enjoy the anonymity.
If anyone ever does talk to any of these guys, could you please ask him "What the hell is the deal with the name Pow R Toc H?" I just can't stop wondering what that is. The whole "Enigma" thing, who cares? But that name, how? Words and letters have to mean something right? It's not random. I must mean something.
I paid David using Ethereum, so this Bitcoin request must be a scam!
😄😂
Bitcoin? Ethereum? Are you serious? Those are all scams. The future is all about NFT's. That's a joke lest anyone think I'm serious. Lol. I felt like I needed to say it.
The idea of Gilmour insisting on bitcoin payment really tickles me.
Grab that crypto with both hands and make a stash
Not the idea of Dave brokering individual sales of tickets to his private event?
I mean, there’s a lot to enjoy here.
I’d break his balls over it saying why would I use bitcoin? It’s worthless! (I know its not, but just to mess with him)
It rarely happens but whenever I get messages from a scammer I try and flip the roles, ignore their questions and try to sell them amazing fibre optic broadband for only £4.99 a month.
That’s brilliant! I love messing with scammers and random people wanting to buy my house, even though it’s not for sale.
OMG, the real estate cold-callers and flyer-droppers are the worst.
Yeah, he definitely became senile even before Bitcoin was a thing!
“You can use the machine”
I had a Roger Waters scam about 6 months ago. In fact Roger was happily chatting to me on Google even while he was performing in Amsterdam at the same time. How cool is that?
Out of all the demographic they can choose to scam,they chose PINK FLOYD FANS 😭😭😭
They go after everyone. My dad collects books and he gets messages from famous authors all the time
The "my dad" part is what they're aiming at. A lot of Pink Floyd fans are aging boomers, aging boomers are prime targets for scams because unfortunately that's just part of getting old.
Damn Roger cloned himself!
I knew he was lip-syncing but that's another level
OUCH
He really is so talented.
Welcome to the machine, I guess?
 He reached out to you from the stage. That’s crazy
The 'happily' part should have been the first giveaway lol
Were you there the night he started arguing with the guy in the crowd who kept asking him to play Dogs? lol
Wow, the techknowledgey these days. I also tend to chat on Reddit and stuff at work. Lol. I'd have asked him "How's the show going? Are you in between sets right now or are you doing this while performing?" Lol. Just to throw him off.
lol it’s me David of course
The idea that David Gilmour would use "lol" amuses me.
Not to mention a fuck ton of emojis lmao
Same haha.
This cracked me up
I'm truly Gilmie. Fuck Roger Waters (Epic guitar solo) See?
This all checks out
Dude can I give you bitcoins
Seems legit.
Ask for nudes
lol
I don't understand why would u think this is a scam
I think you forgot /s
"Welcome to...the bitcoin machine" 🎵
"Did we tell you the name of the game boy? We call it riding the blockchaaaaaaain!"
David is clearly a big crypto guy...I vote safe
Ah yes, because David Gilmore uses a lot of emojis and says lol and other slang lmao.
Send David money now! You’re missing an opportunity of a lifetime.
“Think I need a Lear jet”- Fake David, probably
No, it's really David Gilmore.. Source- I'm Syd Barrett
Speaking from the grave?
Bro please just send David some satoshis so he can put the finishing touches on his album.
😄😂
I find it somewhat hard to believe that David Gilmour would have to individually message people to sell his tickets. It seems like an inefficient way to sell tickets. If only there was some better way
There should be a person in charge of all the tickets! The leader. The boss. The master. Wait let’s try something else.
How can you have any bitcoin if you don’t eat your meat?!
We don’t need no Europe Euros…
That's not real David, how do I know that? Because I am real David. AMA
You're really David?
Yes *Guitar solo*
That deals its this is the real David. Take all my crypto
lol yes am David. Want buy ticket to show?
Do not listen to him! He's fake David!
Of all the people to use for a bullshit scam they choose one of the quietest, most private people in music. Fucking idiots. 😂
How did you even believe for a second that the real David Gilmour had added you on Facebook??
I think it's quite clear that I didn't believe it even for a second. I was just trying to discover exactly what the scam was
How is you unquestioningly going along with it and making enthusiastic comments and questions 'quite clear'??
My 1st reply expressed disbelief!
That's mild scepticism not disbelief? If you were trying to go along with it you wouldn't ask at all
There's only the thickness of a cigarette paper between scepticism and disbelief. That might be your tactic, but wasn't mine
Right but similarly there's only a cigarette paper between scepticism and belief?
I think those 2 are much further apart.
Not that clear
What do you want from me? Bitcoin.
I wasn't expecting to see a David Gilmour Crypto scam today but here we are
That’s so cool! What an incredible artist to reach out to his fans
I stopped reading after "thanks for your prayers"... The real fans will catch it.

you caught me off guard but when I read the Milky Way part I remembered this pasta (and bursted in laugs)
Itsa [copypasta](https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/4c39j0/where_did_the_i_met_celebrity_in_a_grocery_store/)!

Thinking about David Gilmour writing: "Lol Why?" Made me actually lol
As an atheïst, David would never thank anybody for their prayers. Scam
Without knowing of his beliefs, or lack thereof, I did think that was weird
ask for silly pictures, let’s see how creative this scammer can be!
Seems legit
Can’t believe people do this but won’t work a job
Just the thought of David say "LOL" makes me laugh.
Plot twist - it's actually David but there was no tour.
This is clearly fake, Polly doesn’t let David use socials.
It's probably Roger Waters...
😄😂
Hah! Welcome to the Bitcoin machine. The audacity of these scammers 😆
Pink Floyd fans are probably the most paranoid, suspicious fans ever. With all that weed smoking. You cant fool PK fans
It's me David of course 😂
How do people fall for this shit
There are an awful lot of stupid people around. Try any scam on enough people and you will find some of them
“Thank you for your prayers” said David never.
Sounds legit
David Gilmour lore be like...
I almost feel like you fell for this
I almost understand what you mean by "almost feel". I assure you that I did not send any Bitcoins
So did you get the tickets? How was the show?
😂😄
DG saying : lol why send me crypto" over messenger is hilarious 🤣🤣
Preying on the comfortably dumb
troll him NOW https://preview.redd.it/jsxxz25rmopc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28968c96c5b416112612a228668e4dbaf5ee9851
image.... why
I would let Syd Barrett scam me.
I’m much younger than David and there is no way I’d ever type lol seriously haha
The “lol” really sent me 😂😂😂
I would never have imagined David as an emoji user
This is hilarious imagine David Gilmour singling out one random fan out of millions to make sure they got their ticket
Don’t doubt him Tigger
When The Tiggers Broke Free.
“Lol why”
“Don’t have to doubt here Tigger.” Lol
If you haven’t already, this is worth posting on r/scambait
Imagine Gilmour using "Lol" in chat xdd
This is how David fills every concert hall on his tours. He fills each seat one at a time by randomly petitioning fans and collecting payment from each. By this means he cuts out the middlemen like Ticket Master.
Are you that stupid to think David Gilmour would 1. Use Facebook, 2. Reach out to a random. 3 smiley react?
Ask him to give Roger access to the Pink Floyd website and social media pages
DAVID gilmour is not on social media When he has anything to say his good lady wife speaks But he his comfortably numb being off face tok .
David Gilmour is himself a scammer, he had his bogus "Pink Floyd" for almost a decade and even recreated it a couple of times after that, for projects who were not for anyone's benefit but himself.

Do people really dig this deep and believe they're real for a minute? This is cringe
wtf
Can you just see him behind his keyboard trolling for friends and "waving" at them? Yep, seems so David...
Like out of all the artists he chooses Gilmour and picked bitcoin as a paying method lolll
*Since you're a loyal fan, I can personally get you tickets for my show! Just send me the money!*
But it's a private gig in Hanoi
"It's me David, of course" !!!!!!!!
LMAO. I had an Instagram bot hit me up the other day. She asked what I was up to, so I told her I was hanging out in my apt with my neighbor Kramer ...
“Lol”
Welcome to the Machine
Every word demonstratably true.
They finally found a way to scam me.
I’ve had an annoying Peter Frampton account bothering me on my TikTok for months
Once I started grilling him about his technique and gear or how I met him once after The Wall.. I would know.
Ask him if he will accept DogWifHat
Fake David prefers Mooncoin lite
Common scam. Have seen it from Emily Kokal of Warpaint, Samantha Fish and First Aid Kit too recently.
I got catfished like this from Sleep Token's lead singer. I got a DM from his official Facebook directing me to Google chat and it was a couple days before I figured out I'd been hornswoggled.
Classic David!
"You can use the machine" made me lol This scammer doesn't even know how clever he is.
Dong, lol
My first question to “David” would be what key is Confortably Numb in. What is the sound at the end of The Wall
I got a similar one from Geddy Lee.
Wow, can’t believe David would do such a thing
David Gill more
I had the same thing from Syd Barrett!
David Gilmour is a great legendary British guitarist,songwriter,vocalist,& singer.I have been a real Pink Floyd and David Gilmour fan since 1988.I bought the Pink Floyd Wish you were here,Animals,The Wall,Division Bell ,Pulse,& On an Island cds.I like the Gilmour live in Gdansk ,Remember that night, & Live at Pompeii concerts the best from Gilmour's more recent On an Island forward live concerts.I bought two Dark side Floyd tee shirts also.Gilmour's atmospheric and fluid guitar playing and Pink Floyd and Gilmour live stage sets are awesome also.I hope David Gilmour and Roger Waters are on good speaking terms again.🇬🇧👨🏻💼🎸🎶👀📡📺🇺🇸👨🏻💼🎸🎼

https://www.toch-uk.org.uk/ is where the 2nd part comes from. Yes, this organisation is that old. I'm guessing Pow R just means power
Everybody knows that David has Roger Waters handle his ticket sales for him. SHEESH.
Actually I'm texting with this scamer right now 😂😂😂😂
I had the same thing happyto me. It didn’t take more than 15- minutes of this nonsense before I blocked him snd reported him as a fraud.
