Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM

They have lots of great products posted on their website. The price look pretty good. Hard to believe this is a scam it looks pretty good to me.

But I would never ever ever buy gear located in a foreign country.  Although if done through eBay and you document things well via emails between you and the seller they are pretty good at standing by the process and will honor returns that are legitimate.

Geez that’s quite a website for being a scam. Somebody spent a  ton of time putting that all together. I guess if they dupe a few people out of a few thousand $ now and then it’s worth it to them. Surprised it’s still up and running.

Just for s & g I looked around on Google maps for the given address. It doesn’t look like it exists. Closest thing is a car dealer/repair shop. There is a Bang & Olufsen store on the same street but that looks legit.

Any Agoners living on the Isle of Man?

So many scumbags out there, be careful!

A couple of points that should be made, most manufactures have it in their franchise agreements that a dealer can't sell on line, and if they allow it, is is at MSRP. Anytime you see something advertised for less, it should throw up a red flag.

I understand human nature is we want to "believe the deal", but take a deep breath, step back, and then run like hell!!!

Just checked out their site.

The only payment they accept is bank wire transfer.

They explain this by saying it’s so they can pass the lack of credit card fee on to you and so to verify you are really who you say you are.

That red flag could cover the Isle of Man.

The Isle of Man does seem like an odd location to stockpile 1M in high end audio gear.

thanks for the heads up.
