Shady

I've been tracking this deal for a while now. Nothing too appealing but noted a duplicate; same everything less the seller. I engaged one of the sellers (assuming they are different entities but the same contact number was provided) to solicit more info.

The guitar in question is a Mexican Fender Mustang, the fixed bridge version. A close scrutiny revealed rusty string saddles which was contrary to the listing details of it being new & unused / unplayed. So the account for this was that the picture used is not the actual guitar, it's a convenient reference of the actual thing. Also, the seller claimed to be in a position of selling quantities, she (assuming it's a female with reference to the i/d image used. For all we know, it could be a talking rabbit at the other end) would dispatch a sealed version upon order confirmation. She said she's running an online store & invited me to check out other listings there.

And so this happened - no guitars were listed. There were mostly electronics with prices too good to be true. Probed further, she said the team took down listings of items not in stock & would have more stuff there the following day (mind you, this was 2 days ago). I invite you to check this out personally: CLICK

To be fair to the entities involved, if you have dealt with the buyers mentioned here or the store in question, please share some info to help sift the truths from the lies (for want of more cordial terms). On that note folks, please be wary of such circumstances. I've emailed the store & waiting for a reply. Take care everyone, have a scam-free weekend.
