Fraudulent Retail Websites


I am posting this in a few forums to boost awareness.

Thought I would share with you guys there are at least two fraudulent retail websites peddling high end gear at ridiculous prices.  Unfortunately, one of my customers actually tried to buy something from them and is dealing with the replacement of his credit cards, etc...  These are scams that fit the formula outline here.

Remember folks, if a deal seems to good to be true, it probably is.  They seem to be scraping the web for any audio product they can find.  Here are the two I have found so far.  I am intentionally not linking to them since it is Fraud.

If we could just get some DNA to make sure the website isn’t run by the same person, only in an alternate dimension. 
 

It’s a dang quandary, either way. There has to be a simpler explanation than all that, but these days if you hear the sound of hooves, it’s likely to be zebras, not horses. Another clever story, ruined in 2024.

I’m back to playing pinball on my tablet, and happy to say my diatribe made me feel a bit better. 
 

Hope you all had a good weekend!
