How do you verify 'famous' people or reps of famous people?

I recently took over a music subreddit and within a few weeks, had a newly registered account claiming to be a marketing rep from the band.

Nothing on their profile suggested anything of the such. They did email be a link to the band's listing, but there are other management companies that also list the band.

No specifics about an AMA or some type of promotional content were discussed, but it got me wondering how do sub verify this type of thing? I have done some verification on finance subs, but you know...its easy to verify someone from Chase Bank by just getting an email from a Chase Bank domain, but how does this work when it comes to things like bands or movie actors who use third party management companies?

Chase did a credit line move via secure message, even though the portal wouldn't allow me to

Background: My one year mark for CFU has hit and I was hoping to get some of my Amazon card limit moved over. However, I was only able to move CFU's limit to Amazon, not the other way.

I sent a secure messsage and asked for $5k to be moved from Amazon to CFU and they got it processed within 48 hours. So if for some reason you can't do it yourself, give the secure message a try!
