Description

I found a piano on Facebook marketplace. I reached out to the person and received this message: “The Yamaha Piano used to be owned and played by my husband who is now deceased and it was last tuned in December before he passed away. I'm almost done moving my properties and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell his piano, at the same time I'm not happy seeing it around because of less storage I have in my new house so I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument. It's currently with the movers I hired to move my properties from my house.. if you really don't mind making new arrangements with the movers, I can attempt to get in touch with them. This should not attract too many charges since the distance can be recovered within a day..I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but do let me know if you wish that I get through to the movers. Just so you know I'm not giving out a scrap or a waste, it’s in immaculate condition.” We talked further about delivery and she directed me to a site called Duffy Piano Movers. She gave me a referral code and they wanted to coordinate delivery of the piano. The piano was listed for free but the delivery would be the cost associated. She said, “I’m very excited it’s going to a good home. I got through to the movers now in order to let them know they will move the piano back.. All you need to do now is to contact them and make new arrangements as regards to the rerouting process. I also would like you to take some pictures when it arrives at your house and send them to me.. You should present this Referral ID: YGB90JALAS5 to them via live chat on their website at https://www.duffypianomovers.ltd to initiate a reroute.. Let them know Alexa Wolfe referred you and give me feedback.” They wanted zelle, venmo, or cash app for payment.
