Description

Saw Facebook Marketplace listing for a free Yamaha piano. Received email from relative claiming to have given the piano to a moving company. SafeMoverInc. Here is the email I received: The piano used to be owned and played by my husband, who happened to have played it in December last year, before his demise. I am almost done moving my properties, but I do not think my husband would be pleased if this accordion was sold, considering his love and affection for it. However, I am hoping to give it to someone who is as passionate about music as he was and happens to be a die-hard lover of the said instrument. The first lady who I thought was going to get it didn't show up as she promised, and I wasn't going to leave it alone in an empty house, so I decided the accord would be with the movers I employed to move my properties from my old apartment. If you do not mind making arrangements with the movers, I can get in touch with them in order to have them reroute it to your address immediately. I believe this shouldn’t cost you too much since the distance can be recovered in a day or two. I apologize for the inconvenience. Just so you know, I am not giving out a vestige or a waste; it's in very good condition. The representative at the company's name is James. After reaching out to the moving company I paid for the moving service through Zelle. DO NOT PAY MICHELLE GARICA 660-591-0950. After making the initial payment of 290, they claimed I also needed to pay for insurance. They will not give you a refund.
