Facebook add for free grand piano (Kauai kg-2e) being sold by a woman named Barbara Cobb ( lots of obituaries for this name ). Piano belonged to her sister who is moving and has a moving company arranged called Duffy piano with email only provided. Referral number given is. AGB90JALAS5. Instructed to tell moving company to reroute the piano delivery. The company emails back to ask for name, address and email. The seller is very slick to be friendly but could not provide serial number of piano which is readily available. The moving company is located in Philadelphia so this was an alarm bell for a scam.

Hello ****,

I’m very excited it’s going to a good home. I got through to the movers now in order to let them know they will move the piano back.. All you need to do now is to contact them and make new arrangements as regards to the rerouting process. I also would like you to take some pictures when it arrives at your house and send them to me.. You should present this Referral ID: YGB90JALAS5 to them via their email at [email protected] to initiate a reroute.. Let them know Rebecca Williams referred you and give me feedback.

Regards,

Rebecca Williams

Hi ****,

My sister told me about you, and i would really love to give it to you. I have told her to take it off from the market place since you are interested in taking it…. The Yamaha Piano used to be owned and played by my husband who is now deceased and it was last tuned in April before he passed away. I'm almost done moving my properties and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell his piano, at the same time I'm not happy seeing it around because of less storage I have in my new house so I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument. It's currently with the movers I hired to move my properties from my house.. if you really don't mind making new arrangements with the movers, I can attempt to get in touch with them. This should not attract too many charges since the distance can be recovered within a day..I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but do let me know if you wish that I get through to the movers. Just so you know I'm not giving out a scrap or a waste, it’s in immaculate condition.

Regards,

Rebecca Williams

Piano offered for free. Scammer had email communication only, no phone or text. Once I sensed scam I stopped communicating. They did send pictures of piano in emails.

Received an email through a coworker, and I mistakenly assumed a personal connection to the person who shared the email with me thinkin that I might be interested in the piano. Person ID'd themselves as one Gina Fogle, whose husband was recently deceased. She was in the process of moving out of the country, and the piano was in storage with the listed company in Little Rock, AK. It surprised me that they were located in a different state than me given the (mistakenly) assumed connection between Ms. Fogle and my coworker. On a follow up, Ms. Fogle provided details concerning the age and condition of the instrument and furnished me with a reference number for the company to coordinate shipment. When I reached out to the company, they provided a tiered-timeframe shipping quote and requested payment via Bank Transfer or Zelle. This caused me to become suspicious, and I looked up the company through BBB, which confirmed my suspicions. I immediately reached out to the company to sever contact and inform them I was terminating my interest.

This person emailed my nonprofit organization and offered to donate a piano to our company. i entered myself into the raffle and won. I emailed her with the email provided letting her know that I had won. She told me it was her late husband's piano and she really wanted it to go to a music lover. She didn't want any money for it as her husband would be devastated if she sold it but she was moving to France and it needed to be gone out of her storage unit. Her movers were very reasonable and that I could schedule with them. She gave me a reference code for when I emailed the movers. She was very on me about emailing the movers even giving me deadlines and asking for pictures and videos once I got it in my house. I emailed them over the weekend and when I received no response I looked up the moving company at work. This is when I found out this was a scam. This was the most elaborate scam I have ever seen. It was typed out completely and correctly, it was a very detailed story, and she was consistent on being in contact.

Other emails used in the email thread were: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Offered to ship a free Yamaha GC-1 piano to the victim and setup for a shipping fee.

Supposedly the fictitious giver was moving to France after her late husband died. He would have wanted her to give the piano away rather than sell it.

She suggested getting in touch with her mover to help get the piano to us. She also asked pictures be taken of the piano when it arrives.

The mover requested money via Zelle or Bank transfer up front for the delivery of the piano. She provided a website and email for the company.

After checking the company website I noticed the main number does not work and no one answered the local number. The domain registrar info is private. There is no mention of them on the Better Business Bureau or the AR Secretary of State.
