Singer from Danger Danger Caught Attempting Fraud After Purchasing Guitar from Toledo Music Store

A Toledo-based music store, Small Box Music, claims that Ted Poley, the lead singer of the glam metal band Danger Danger, tried to scam them out of a guitar and then launched a smear campaign against them on social media.

According to the store’s Facebook page, Poley visited the store and bought a guitar from them. However, he later called the store and said he was not happy with the guitar and wanted to keep it and get a refund. He allegedly told the store that he would report the charge as fraudulent to his credit card company, effectively stealing the guitar from the store.

The store said they offered Poley a full refund if he returned the guitar, but he refused and started to harass their employees and post false information about the transaction on social media. He also encouraged his fans to leave negative reviews for the store on Google, damaging their reputation and business.

The store linked to Poley’s messages and posts, as well as some of the one-star reviews they received from his followers. They asked their customers and supporters to help them out by leaving positive reviews and spreading the word about their situation. They also thanked their loyal customers for their support and said they were proud to be a small business in Toledo.

Poley is best known as the lead vocalist of Danger Danger, a band that rose to fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s with hits such as “Naughty Naughty” and “Bang Bang”. He was fired from the band in 1993 and later sued them over the release of their third album, Cockroach, which featured his vocals. He rejoined the band in 2004 and has been performing with them ever since. He has also released several solo albums and collaborated with other artists.

Both Poley and the store were contacted for comment, but neither responded by the time of writing this article. However, it appears that Poley has deleted his posts and most of the negative reviews have been removed from the store’s Google page. It is unclear if the matter has been resolved or if any legal action will be taken.
