First email comes in with no personal greeting, subject is "Steinway Piano"

"I have a Steinway piano to give away. I can send you the pictures if you're interested. Thanks"

Now interestingly enough - a year ago I was looking at used/free pianos on Facebook, so this seemed like someone from an old email, thus I responded and got this.

"The Steinway Piano (model B7) used to be owned and played by my husband who passed away last year. It was last tuned sometime around December last year before he passed. I'm moving my properties to California and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell this piano, at the same time, I am settling for an apartment with less space, so I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument.

The Piano is currently in storage in Missouri with the movers I employed to move my properties from my house. In attachment are the pictures of the Piano. Do let me know if you are interested.

Greetings,
Betty"

Edna Centola was the name of our philanthropist donating the piano. Smelled like three week old dead fish to me.

Same scam as described above. "Lisa" posted on Next Door community chat about her late husband's grand piano that hadn't been tuned since November and how he would have wanted it to go to someone who would enjoy the piano.

"Lisa" then said to simply pay for the moving expense of the Piano and provided a reference code and email address for Reserved Movers. As the scam goes, Reserved Movers (no online reviews) sends a reasonable shipping quote and asks that the shipping cost be paid for in advance via funds transfer.

At this point, we thankfully googled and found this page.

Exactly the same scam. The same husband died, same pictures, same email. I realized the scam for the email; @gmail for a corporation? and then I think they are going to ask for the payment before the transportation is done and If the piano never arrives... then I found the reserved movers scam in google and voila! they don't even change the story :(

One of the Staff Members was contacted by a widower, going by the name of Allen Corey, who wanted to donate his "Late Wife's" Mini Grand Piano. He claimed that he desired for the piano to go to a good home of someone who would appreciate the instrument. Our staff member passed the information to the staff within the music department who proceeded to inform Allen that they would gladly take his donation. Allen told the Music Department staff that he was moving to LA from Oklahoma and that he would referred them to this moving company that is titled "Reserved Movers" based in OK. The staff reached out to this company via email and used the reference number that Allen provided. "Reserved Movers" informed the staff that they could deliver the Mini Grand to the university but that they would only accept Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal as their payment method. The staff was unable to pay them under those circumstances as they can only make payments through higher methods. "Reserved Movers" informed the staff, however, that their payment portals were offline and that they could only receive payment through those mediocre services.

The Music staff researched some more into the company and discovered another company was scammed with very similar information (a loved relative passing leaving their piano to be donated and delivered through a moving company in Oklahoma).

Our public school district received an email from a donor who said she wanted to donate her uncle's baby grand. When I asked questions about make, model, and location, I didn't get a reply. My supervisor emailed the donor to say we were interested and the conversation resumed. However, I thought it strange that the donor 1) recommended a mover and 2) said the piano was in storage in Oklahoma. We use our own piano movers but figured we'd do what the eccentric donor wanted.

The biggest red flag is that the moving company sent me a static invoice, but wanted us to use Zelle or PayPal to pay. They didn't even create an invoice through PayPal! Further, they asked that we use [email protected] when sending the money. Emails to watch out for: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].

An individual by the name of Joyce Kirkman messaged me that she had a piano which belonged to her deceased husband to give away to someone who would take good care of it. After showing interest she sent pictures and referred me to reservemovers.com. I had a feeling something was off and asked her to call me and she wouldn’t. I came on the website and saw this post which confirmed the scam.

Individual contacted the music school where I teach sharing that they had a piano from a deceased uncle to give to a good home. After indicating interest, I received an email from a different individual with photos and videos of the piano in question, asking me to set up delivery with a moving company in Oklahoma (I'm in Pennsylvania). Something smelled "phishy," so I checked the website of the mover. Lots of questionable spelling & grammar on the website, the phone voicemail identifies itself as "a Nextel customer," and there's no street address for the mover. I've stopped corresponding with the individual.

Individuals offering the "piano" and moving services identified themselves as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and www.reservedmovers.com
