Description
Sam experience as someone else here. I responded to a facebook marketplace ad for a 'free' yamaha electric keyboard. stated that he was posting on behalf of his sister and she would like to give it away for free. he responded to my inquiry giving me the contact info listed here for his 'sister' and to email her. i did and the response was basically talking about how she was moving, the piano was used by her late husband etc etc and that i should contact the movers to have them reroute the piano. blah blah. i ultimately did not respond as i expect this is definitely a scam (poor language and matches almost exactly other scams reported) but i expect then i would be expected to pay the movers a small fee and never get anything. disappointing - wish people were better than this.
