Hang on Gumtree UK - LOOKS LIKE A SCAM

[simsomsam]

Hi found this (apparently) 1st Gen Hang (Zhi Diao) on Gumtree a few days back with a too good to be true asking price.

Advert = http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/hang/1012138780

I could be wrong but I don't think this is genuine as when I contacted the seller I was emailed this YouTube link to a video of the instrument.

I have had no reply yet to my subsequent message. I debated about posting this up on the Forum but in the end I guess I want some friendly advice. I am sorry if this is a genuine ad from a member here, I just wanted to be safe rather than sorry and warn any others who saw it.

Definitely a scam .... that's our very own Don Marco, Saraz maker, in the video

Not a very smart scammer either - advertising a 1st Gen and then linking it to a video of a 2nd gen

Yup, not surprised!

I wonder who actually has that 1st Gen Zhi Diao 290Y ...

Don't know, but I recognise the photos ... this one's been tried before ...
Good spot

I have reported the scam.

I agree Pheonix, not a smart scammer...
