Description

I was looking for a piano on facebook marketplace. I found one listed as free by "Irene Lockett". I messaged "Irene" and she said, "I posted this ad on behalf of my brother, who is generously offering the piano" and provided me her "brother's" email address ([email protected]) and said to reach out to him. I emailed the provided address and got a sob story about how he was downsizing after his wife passed away from cancer and that it was her dying wish to see that the piano got to a good home. They said I could arrange for the freight company to deliver the piano and provided me with connectinglogisticsinc.com and said to open a chat and give them a Referral ID they provided. I navigated to the connecting logistics inc website and opened the chat, provided the Referral ID, and they asked for my address. They then said, "COST ESTIMATE: Based on the weight and miles, it will cost a total of ~$990.88 (3 day delivery with insurance)". I got suspicious and did some research using information on the site and discovered that their website seems to be a duplicate of https://sealioncargo.com/ (a legit freight company).
