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.

Thanks verdantaudio for shouting out a warning.  These scams are popping up for many types of goods.  They look real, and show up on google.  It’s hard to tell if they’re legit without close inspection.  I check them by googling “is ——- legitimate“.

 

Hi,

I agree 100% that Alien audio Academy's is a complete scam website. They have some of the products that we import from Cyprus on their website and they have them on sale.

Number one Aries Cerat does not reduce the retail pricing. Number two the manufacturer only allows authorized stores to sell their product.

I've already contacted the Kansas fraud squad and they are looking into this company/website. The Kansas fraud squad has been out to the advertised location and it is two elderly people living in a small home that have nothing to do with audio.

Sorry for any confusion but yes please be careful as there are a lot of scams on the Internet.
