Beware, scammers everywhere
Man, it just doesn’t stop. I list an amp here, and immediately get a response. Some back and forth on price, then it gets fishy. “My partner and I will overnight the payment, we just need name and address. Refuses PayPal, will only send from his/her bank. All this over text, which should have been the first clue.
I suspect the next thing would have been “we accidentally sent the money twice, can you send it back to us?” or something similar. Been down that road before.
None of this was due to the Audiogon platform, scammers find a way to get pretty much anywhere and everywhere. If it seems fishy, run away.
I bought some high end amps on another audio forum. Pics and description were all great. When they arrived, one was dead. Seller stated it was working which is strange since it was missing an internal fuse (which when replaced would blow right away). Sent to OEM for repair and diagnostics (at my cost). I was not happy. |
@thecarpathian I did. Spoke on the phone and he denied all issues. Did a facetime call to show the problem and he blamed the courier. I can't see UPS opening up an amp and putting an inline fuse holder to bypass the exterior holder.... That was only on one of them, the other one was stock. I have had great experiences as a buyer and a seller of audio and car racing related parts and vehicles. |
@thecarpathian I did to protect other buyers. |
