Sketchy looking website selling absurdly cheap Tech 21 pedals. ***?!

[Azari]

I can’t even imagine how this isn’t a scam…

The site is called Bestpdbuy Official Online Store Shop Now & Save … it doesnt appear to be a music gear store at all, but for some strange reason if you use the search function, you can find pedals. Very bizarre.

Some brave soul here should buy one and see if they get robbed I don’t have a pre-paid card. I don’t know if I should trust these people with my main credit or debit card #

Definitely bizarre, but probably an effort to see if they can catch some gullible musicians to fall for their scam

 

[Parzival]

Most likely a scam website.

They have a phone number on the website listed…. Maybe later I’ll try calling them to see what kind of bolshevik they might to pull if they are scammers then I may as well prank call them

$80 for a VT 500 amp. Yeah, sure. Maybe just for the box.

So many web storefronts claiming to sell $3000 guitars for one tenth the price. Not surprised at all they've branched out to pedals and other equipment.

Every single one of them a scam. Not only will you see anything get shipped, you won't see your credit rating again either.

Looks like a hose and parts website. I did a search and everything is priced between $45 and $65 no matter what it is.

And then this... (See picture)

Looks very fishy to me...

 

[LAST_C]

Deal of the decade!

 

[FullumMusic]

Of course, the street view of the address is pretty fantastic too

cant even get to the site because my AV program flags it as a security breach

In my other hobby, if you see a .shop address, it's pretty much assured to be a scam site. They copy known sites (using the logos and pictures from the original), but instead of .com, use .shop and offer stuff at ridiculous discounts.

100% scam - Google the phone number listed on that site under the contact info and you'll see that number associated with multiple similar online shops (along with a cool BBB complaint). Also the street view of the back of the address listed

 

[MYLOWFREQ]

I'm not even clicking on that link

what do you mean *if*???

do you have any doubts?

 

[moon-bass]

Yeah, 100% a scam. I saw one of these a few months ago that claimed to have had EHX Q-Balls for sale for $30. They weirdly had sole over 3,000 of them in the past week and had another 3,000 in stock lol. They just grab listing from other sites, etc. Complete scam.

 

[CascadeBass]

Lol.

I'm willing to give it a try, umm I seem to have misplaced my credit card, can I borrow yours for a minute ? I promise to pay you straight back.

When Sam Ash was going out of business, there were a ton of fake online stores pretending to be their "going out of business sale" on Facebook. They were clearly scams, and I reported them to facebook multiple times. Of course facebook looked at it and decided the ads were fine.

The prices are fake, the photos are fake, the address is fake, the website is fake... but yeah the phone number should work.
