Many of Drake's fans bought tickets for shows in May, but the only problem is that the rapper isn't performing at them.
Drake has caught wind of a promoter who's been advertising shows in eight cities that don't exist, according to TMZ.
The
tour was advertised without Drake's consent and fans were duped into
paying as much as $350 per ticket in Miami, Florida and Houston, Texas
alone.
Watch out: Drake has caught wind of a
promoter selling phony tickets for shows in May that don't exist on his
tour schedule; the rapper was pictured performing on February in Sydney,
Australia on February 28
One of those nonexistent concerts was advertised to happen at the Arena Theatre in southwest Houston on May 17.
'Drake has never been scheduled to appear at the Arena Theatre venue,' a spokesperson for the rapper told ABC-13, adding that an investigation has been initiated.
The
rep continued: 'We are horrified that someone would use Drake's name to
take advantage of his fans. For any individuals who may have fallen
victim to this, please contact your local authorities.'

The Nothing Was The Same crooner is said to have launched a search for the culprit, although he hasn't a clue who it could be.
Drake,
who isn't performing at any of those venues in May, has told the people
who bought phony tickets to report it to the police.
The 28-year-old singer is currently in Australia where he's performing as part of the Future Music Festival.
Sightseeing: Drake was seen visiting Bondi's Icebergs Club in Sydney, Australia on February 26
Drake
certainly energised the fans during a show at Royal Randwick Racecourse
on February 28, and held them transfixed when he got down on his knees
in a seemingly praying stance.
Wearing white jeans and white trainers, a white T-shirt and denim jacket, Drake wowed the crowd with his pumped up performance.
Two
days earlier, Drake was spotted enjoying the sights at Bondi's Icebergs
Club at Bondi Beach in Sydney, a must-see place featuring a winter
swimming pool, dining room and a bar.
Te
rap star kept his head down beneath a blue baseball cap as he left the
sight, and his security team kept the fan crowd at bay.
