Another is impersonating WYLD personality Adrian Long, who says someone's been using her name to get free chicken dinners.

The scammers have cheated listeners anywhere from $25 to $250 for access to concerts and other events around town. Others have told listeners that they'll will get your song played on the radio, allowing you to submit your CD for a particular price.
