The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

It is so tempting to send a link to the seller of this thread and stir the pot !

yes i agree ! BUT If he sees this now he could cancel and do a second chance offer to the underbidder and as there was an underbidder someone might still get scammed so i'll keep him hanging on

Yeah for sure, people sure have their nerve !

It now says that it sold.

Still no response , so I messaged again

If you ever get a chance to leave feedback you might consider mentioning his whole auction was a fraud. Might be able to warn others that way, in case they check out his feedback. Though I'm sure if it's relisted, it will be under another account... probably stolen as well.

Got the bank details so now more fun

Puzzling but She and the gramophone are in Italy just south of Florence , yet her husband's bank account is in Berlin I wonder why ? and of course it is a Cash deposit "MULE" , the scammers pay the "MULE" 10% of any incoming money by only requiring them to send on 90% immediately to another bank account , when the "MULES" are caught and they frequently are the consequences can be severe

Anyway i have contacted the bank to say this account is being used for Fraud , and tomorrow I will tell him the money has been sent , he will contact the "MULE" who will say no money has been deposited , will he be believed or think his "MULE" is withholding the money EXPECT VIOLENCE !
