Danny Greene - Melting Point scam and other San Francisco, CA Warning Or Danger Tips

Me and my friend was approached by a very nice man in the tourist office close to the Powell Bart station. He needed help finding a map and was very thankful to us when we found it for him and asked us where we were from. Obviously he heard that we were foreign and when we told him we were Swedish he said that he was going there in a couple of weeks on tour with his band, melting point, opening for REM. He didn't look like the highlife rock person, as he was in his 40-50-ies but we could not rule out that he was not. His name was Danny Greene and he was just up from LA on a short trip with his band. This night however there would be a closed 'professional' concert -love not bombs- featuring Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Pearl Jam and some other band and he had tickets for his band but all members except his girlfriend had left town so he asked us if we wanted to tag along. We said fine and he took us to a hotel were he could get us the tickets was. In the lobby after some more sweet talk he asked us for $19 each for the tickets as he was going up to a room to purchase them. Guess if he was going to return with them... We didn't give him the money and after a little more small talk he took off.
