Be aware of a scam!


This happened outside of Audiogon, however I thought I'd share so other people won't get scammed.
It looks like a scam plot where bad guys post desirable HiFi gear for sale at various classified sites with cheap prices. Once you contact them they will tell you some BS that they need money and offer you escrow service to deliver the item, in my case some transportation company in Spain. The escrow service require full payment upfront and claim to be an intermediary between seller and buyer. In my case the guy introduced himself as Robert Szekeres (robert.szekeres1986@gmail.com...). He sent me the link to the escrow service company in Spain [url]https://transmachila-sl.com/trade_protection.php[/url]. The site looks legit except when I checked deeper it was created a couple months ago out of Reykjavik.
So needless to say I backed out of the deal.
Be vigilant people!

Well, to add to the list, 

www.arnesgesthsl.com

is a complete scam. Stay away.

Sophisticated in a few ways as well, as they operate a website Network Courier Service,

www.networkcourierservice.com

that also demonstrates tracking of the package with the objective of extracting more $ for import taxes, etc. Fortunately, it was a small sum lost - first time ever for me, over 25 years of successful online buy/selling.
