Piano moving
Follow-Up with Charlotte Hughes: Charlotte described the piano’s excellent condition and mentioned it was currently stored with movers. She claimed she wasn’t looking to sell it but wanted it to go to a good home, and that I only needed to cover the moving costs. She referred me to a moving company, ExpressMoversStorage, and provided their email and a reference code for arranging delivery.
Communications with ExpressMoversStorage: After contacting the supposed movers, I received an email with payment instructions. They asked for a wire transfer to a bank account under the name Knabe Deborah at Varo Money, Inc. They insisted on immediate payment, asking for proof via a payment slip or screenshot and promised delivery once payment was made.

Thanks for your response, the Yamaha Baby Grand Piano GC1 model used to be owned and played by my husband who passed away last year, the dimension is "151cm by 146cm". It was last tuned sometime last year before he passed. She's about 2 years old and in impeccable condition.
I'm moving my properties to another place and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell this piano, at the same time, I am settling for a home with less space, so I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument. I wasn't going to leave it alone in an empty house.
The Piano is currently in storage with the movers I employed to move my properties from my house. The movers can deliver anywhere. However, the beneficiary has to pay moving costs. In the attachment are the pictures of the Piano, I look forward to your reply if you are interested, if not I can contact someone else.

That's when I started getting suspicious, did a google search and found out that the "Widow Yamaha Grand Piano Scam" was a thing! They target churches, music teachers, music schools, etc., and make it very emotional and personal. The "widow" when asked by me why she chose our church said that our values were aligned with hers and even got specific.
Here is one of "the widow's" emails to me:
"Hi,
Thank you for your response, the Yamaha Baby Grand Piano GC1 model belonged to my husband who passed away last year, the dimension is "151cm by 146cm". It was last settled last year before he passed away. She is about 2 years old and in immaculate condition.
I'm moving my properties to another place and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell this piano, at the same time I'm content with a house with less space, so I hope to give it to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument. I wasn't going to leave him alone in an empty house.
The piano is currently in storage with the movers I employed to move my belongings from my home. Movers can deliver anywhere. However, the beneficiary must pay the moving costs. Attached are the photos of the Piano, I await your response if you are interested, otherwise I can contact someone else.
Cheers,
Melissa."

to me
Hi , I wanted to share something special about my late husband's love for playing the piano. It was more than just a hobby for him, it was a passion that filled our home with beautiful melodies and memories.
I wanted to also reach out and discuss the possibility of the piano becoming a part of your life. I'd love to hear more about your own passion for music and the role the piano could play in your life. It's important to me that this instrument finds a home where it will be cherished and played with the same love that my late husband had for it.
Please take your time to consider this, and feel free to share your thoughts and feelings about the piano.
Warm Regards,
Melissa."
And another response when I asked why she chose our church:
"Hi Robin,
I reached out to the UU Fellowship of the Peninsula because I've been searching for a community that aligns with my values and provides opportunities for personal growth and connection. Their inclusive and diverse programs seem like a great fit for what I've been seeking."
And her response to what I told her about my love of music and abilities and experience playing piano,
"Hi Robin,
Thanks for sharing about your experience with music and pianos. It sounds like you have a deep connection with your craft and a real talent for moving people with your playing. Your ability to blend classical training with improvisation must create some truly unique and beautiful performances.
It's inspiring to hear how music is such a heartfelt expression for you. Keep shining through those keys!"
And then, the pressure:

Hi ,
I have provided you with the movers' information. Please contact them as soon as possible to arrange the delivery. I will be traveling to Canada next weekend to visit my son, who just had his first baby in March, and we would like the piano to find its new home before I depart.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing about your musical journey with the piano.
Thank you,
Melissa."
