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!

It will show up in a week, about 5 bucks cheaper 😉

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.

If it’s too good to believe, don’t believe it! I had an unpleasant experience buying the cheapest NAD C 368 out there for a secondary system. When it came, the remote was defective & the seller completely uncooperative. PayPay eventually refunded me, but it was months of -- something none of us wants to go through. Caveat Emptor -- and always use a credit card with good customer service!
