Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.


In the past 12 years, Audiogon was a great resource for buying used Mcintosh Amps. Recently, it became the hub for scammers listing all kind of Mcintosh gears. I got scammed myself but Paypal and my bank caught it. Audiogon answer was be careful with some of our sellers( what a laughable comment). For now, I will not list or buy till Audiogon find a way to verify the new sellers. Too bad 👎…,,

I'm currently waiting for the buyers bank fraud investigation findings. (I sold the goods here in December).

 

Buyer claims that they did not make the purchase, this was after the buyer received the goods. The bank via Stripe took back the money, this cost me an additional $134. 

 

I'm down two thousand +/- and I don't have my goods. (Buyer does not respond).

 

Don't know if the bank will be impartial?

Audiogon and Stripe cant do much for me, its up to the bank.

 

The buyer was a member only a few weeks before the purchase, do we need to avoid new members?
