buyer beware of late

I spotted three adds in "full range speakers" last night that looked very questionable. All ended with the word "used." All the adds were marked sold within just a few minutes of being opened and they had shared feedback. Looked liked feedback fraud to me.

Mr_Hosehead, yes I did. Check the feedback, its the same group of member names giving feedback, back and forth. I wrote down all seven aliases that this guy/gal is using. Obviously they are building up false positive feedbacks in order to better perpetrate a scam.

All the deals were marked sold just minutes after opening, with feedback both ways within a few hours, and low and behold all were paid with Money Order too.

What an idiot, as you pointed out they didnt even have the intellect to mix up the syntax. In the feedback or the Adds, which were posted one right under the other.

AudiogoN did a good job though. I sent them an email pointing out the fairly obvious situation and asked for a little prudent scrutiny. As of this morning 5 of the 7 aliases are no longer members. I'll be watching the other two pretty close.

Good for you for posting that! Bravo. We have to look out for ourselves sometimes. I do feel strongly about this community.

Your exactly right about the 2 remaining of the original 7. There are new adds that have Pics and all. Looks like the scammers have a foundness for B & W products and big Krell Amps.

I havent emailed A'gon about these newest adds. That brings up a good question. Why doesnt A'gon have a "fraud alert" link? Maybe they do... and I am just to dim to locate it.
