Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands

I live in Belgium, and just by curiosity, I did send a mail to ZOOM ZOOM, asking if I could drop by to have a look on some of their gear. Off course: no reply!

When you go their Web site a chat window pops up. That might be a good way to get a response or find out where or who they are.

Accepting wire payment only is the big tip-off. 

Anygreg, great gumshoe. 

Sorry to hear this.  I agree it doesn't look good.  I notice that everything is expensive, which means fewer buyers, which means it's harder to find feedback on the company.  I bet if he "sells" that $1.4M Bentley, he will close up the shop and be gone for quite a while.

Can Audiogon help in any way, or is the method of payment used outside Audiogon's parameters. 

I had my first sale last week with interconnects, Audiogon held the payment until the cables were received, the website states it can take up to 8 days for payment to clear. I used The credit card payment system, fair for all parties.

I would fly before parting with 15k.

I flew a few hours last year to see a pair of speakers. Emails led to phone calls and then meeting in person, worked well.  

I emailed Audiogon last year to verifying a vendor in Turkey. I wanted to know if I could trust the seller information. I got a prompt response, they looked into the vendor and said everything was in order. 

No harm forwarding the police in the Netherlands all relevant information on this vendor.

Good luck.
