Email sent by Mindy Faciane [email protected] Greetings to you, One of the staff members at Louisiana Department of Health, in the person of Mrs. Ida Carrillo is kindly offering her late father's piano to a loving home at no charge. She is currently relocating to a smaller apartment and hopes to find a caring home for the piano, ensuring it is put to good use. The piano is a 2014 Baby Grand, in excellent condition despite having been used. If you are interested, please contact her promptly before someone else expresses interest in the piano. You can reach her via her personal contact: IDACARRILLO32 @ gmail.com & an image of the piano is attached for your reference.

The scammer initially made contact through a person named Rod Julia Caldwell, claiming that her husband had died and she was moving to France. She said she needed a home for her baby grand piano. After many back-and-forth emails with photos, including pictures of the piano and its dimensions, she connected us with a company called Metro Global Link Logistic Express, which claimed to have offices in Calgary. They had a website that appeared very legitimate. A person from that company named Christopher McAstalker then contacted me multiple times asking about the method of delivery, transport insurance, and related details. We created a wire transfer to cover these costs, but that was the last we heard from the scammer. We are a prominent business and often receive interesting requests, so at first it seemed like this could have been legitimate. Our business could have provided a good home for the piano—had it actually existed.

Thanks for your response, the Yamaha Baby Grand Piano GC1 model used to be owned and played by my husband who passed away last year, the dimension is "151cm by 146cm". It was last tuned sometime last year before he passed. She's about 2 years old and in impeccable condition. And yes, I'm trying to reachout to people, organizations, schools or music studios for anyone interested in rehoming a Yamaha baby grand piano. As long as it's a passionate instrument lover who will care for it. I'm moving my properties to another place and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell this piano, at the same time, I am settling for a home with less space, so I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument. I wasn't going to leave it alone in an empty house. The Piano is currently in storage with the movers I employed to move my properties from my house in Johnson County, Ks. The movers can deliver anywhere. However, the beneficiary has to pay moving costs. In the attachment are the pictures of the Piano, I look forward to your reply if you are interested, if not I can contact someone else. Regards, Hughes Thanks for your response and the additional information. I hope everything is going well on your end! Absolutely, my plan is to have it given out sooner than later. Ultimately, what matters most to me is that the piano goes to where/someone who will truly appreciate it and put it to good use. The piano has been in the movers' storage for some time now (Johnson County), so it's best for them to handle the move. I hope that makes sense. The piano is in great condition. Instruments become very personal, almost like pets. You know you wouldn't want your string instruments to end up just anywhere. You need to contact the movers and make an arrangement as regards the moving process. I would like you to take some pictures/videos when they arrive at your address. Here is the mover's information: ([email protected]) just let them know that Mrs. Charlotte Hughes, referred you with the Reference Code: SEIL132PH. Make sure you send an email for a faster response.
