Description

Initial Contact Through Church Website: I was first contacted by someone posing as Charlotte Hughes via the church website. She claimed to be offering a Yamaha Baby Grand Piano that belonged to her late husband and was looking for a passionate musician to re-home it. Follow-Up with Charlotte Hughes: Charlotte described the piano’s excellent condition and mentioned it was currently stored with movers. She claimed she wasn’t looking to sell it but wanted it to go to a good home, and that I only needed to cover the moving costs. She referred me to a moving company, ExpressMoversStorage, and provided their email and a reference code for arranging delivery. Communications with ExpressMoversStorage: After contacting the supposed movers, I received an email with payment instructions. They asked for a wire transfer to a bank account under the name Knabe Deborah at Varo Money, Inc. They insisted on immediate payment, asking for proof via a payment slip or screenshot and promised delivery once payment was made.
