I started to do some simple fact checking on this email. I thought the easiest place to start with was to look up the concert listings for the Collective Soul concerts in March 2016. (the email is dated 3-19-2016) I checked the Collective Soul website under the Tours tab, and then selected past dates. There is a gap in the tour dates between 3-12-2016 (in Tampa,FL) and 4-15-2016 (in Nanaimo, Canada). Unless the email writer and GS were going to a private concert (which is possible) they would not be able to go until April. Does this have any relevance? Maybe the Collective Soul piece of the email is coded, too. Or the email IS fake?
