John Mulaney Scammed While Booking Bone Thugs-N-Harmony for Show

In a recent episode of his Netflix show 'Everybody’s Live,' comedian John Mulaney shared a humorous yet alarming story about an elaborate scam he fell victim to while trying to book the hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Mulaney and his team believed they had secured a booking through a contact found online, but the supposed manager strung them along without any actual band members present during a scheduled Zoom call. The scam escalated when the fake manager convinced Mulaney to withdraw $2,800 from his personal account, which he had to arrange through his wife due to safeguards he had in place for his sobriety. Eventually, the scam became apparent when the manager demanded $100,000 at the last minute. Mulaney expressed concern over not having direct contact with the band and invited them to call his show to clarify the situation. Despite the setback, he maintained his characteristic humor throughout the recounting of the ordeal.
