Scams on Audiogon (McIntosh Amps)

I recently purchased a MC-452 on Audiogon for an amount close to market price... but I have seen this specific ad (link below) pop up now and then, only to disappear agian. Going by the incredibly low price its offered at, I'm guessing this is a scam.

My question is how do these ads make it past the approval stage? I woudl have easily fallen for this since I was looking for this specific amp!

@roxy54 that’s what I thought too but these ads show up with the same price point (he dropped it 10 bucks now) and then gets removed a few hours later. This is the 5 or 6th time I’m seeing this show up. Even the description is very generic (copy pasted from the McIntosh website).

Well the ad has been suspended. I guess someone thought it was suspicious enough.

If the ad is here on Agon the scammer has paid to have that ad posted.

Not saying it is right but Agon got theirs.
