Warning of pop audition deception

Advertisements have been issued which state that pop group auditions are to be held at the University of º£½ÇÖ±²¥â€™s Main Hall on Saturday 4 August and Sunday 5 August, from 9am-5pm, at a cost of £10 per audition.

Members of the public and the University of º£½ÇÖ±²¥ have been victims of a deception and NO ‘pop group auditions’ are scheduled to take place at the University of º£½ÇÖ±²¥ this weekend. The University is working closely with the Police service and members of the public are therefore advised NOT to travel to the University of º£½ÇÖ±²¥ this weekend, and NOT to pay £10 to any individual.

Concerned members of the public can contact Cleveland Police on 01642 249406, from Friday 3 August-Sunday 5 August from 10am-4pm each day.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Derek Fraser said, "The University has made every effort through the local and national media to inform people of this position and may I stress my regret that you have become involved in this most unpleasant deception."
