Another Reverb Scammer

[Dana R Gregory]

I have used Reverb many times in the past 10 years or so and until last month, never had to deal with this. I just want to warn the membership about another obvious scammer.

• Hi! My name is Christina. Is this sitar still available? From the pictures I've seen so far, I think I like it, and I'm quite interested in making purchase. I and my husband are setting up a digital/analog studio, so we'd be needing one of this. Kindly hmu via [email protected] for further negotiations. Thank you

• Christina M. cannot receive messages at this time.

  A couple big red flags are: First is the poor grammar and why don't they want to communicate via Reverb messaging. If they really are interested in making a purchase then why don't they put it in their basket and pay for it through Reverb. Definitely a scam. This is the second one in the last 3 weeks. As I have said, I have never seen this before on Reverb until March of this year. Please be careful when selling on Reverb.

You're selling a sitar?

Yes, it is listed in Orlando Craigslist and on Reverb. If you need info please let me know. I hate to let it go but chronic tendonitis has gotten the best of me and playing it is now painful after a short time.

Your loss, my gain. I just clicked the email and now I'm selling her my old sitar.

Back when I started playing bass (1971), an old keyboardist friend would have jams at his place. One of the guys would bring his sitar.
