A few members have given us proofs that some scammers are trying to swindle people here. They usually contact sellers of items to propose them some serious material under false identities/nationalities. The mechanism is this one: Mr Scam contacts you, want's to buy your stuff. He has some complicate story upon some money a guy must pay him for some time etc. The third guy will pay for your material and you should send the difference to the buyer. I'm talking about a $700 transaction transforming into a $4000 one! No need to tell in the end, you are short of $3300… A news will be on MM very shortly, I have banned already a few avatars of these guys, if you fell something is fishy with a buyer/seller, be very cautious. Don't accept Western Union for exemple. A short list of do/don't will be available too. In need ask me for counsel here.  These guys don't belong to our musical world

Hi,
This scammer's pretty careless so I don't think the police will have too much trouble picking him up.
He was using silvrmbr (Silver Member) and nsgoit (Noise Gate) advertising Neumann U87 vintage, claiming it was used only for guitar.
Here are the details he provided in case he tries it out again:
Name : CEDRIC FLOCH
Address: 42 rue saint pierre 26200 Montélimar FRANCE
Phone: +33 (0)6 88 05 99 46
Bank Name : CAISSE D' EPARGNE
Stick with the echrow!
