I was looking around for Tyros 4 prices, and came across this site: http://onlinesales4u.webs.com/musicalinstrument.htm
It seems fishy, but I corresponded with someone - Kim Milar (k_milar@yahoo.com), who said they're willing to take PayPal.
This is (supposedly) their company info: http://ukdata.com/company/07247766/ONLINE-SALES-4U-LIMITED
Does anyone know anything about them?
I'd love to get a cheap Tyros 4, but I'd love even more not to get scammed... wink
Thanks!

If it's too good to be true,it probably is.
But, to each his own.

Hi

After looking at the website my personal opinion is not to touch it with a 60’ barge pole.

1. The website looks like it’s been made in somebody’s back bedroom
2. The wording and grammar is totally out (Looks like a poorly done translation into English)
3. No company finance details available, even though it was supposedly started in 2007
4. The products they are selling (Apple in particular) are studiously protected by their manufactures, so they’re not going to allow them to be sold off cheap
5. I have found another company with almost exactly the same name and selling the exact same products but based in the Philippines

As they are based in Nottingham, I suggest you contact Nottingham Trading Standards to check them out before doing anything

Remember if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is

Hope this helps

Bill

The address is only the registered address (which means an accountants address rather than the business location) and is in fact the address of 'Good Payroll services'. The main website is a free one that anyone can make in a few minutes.

One look at their web site is enough to send me running the other way ...
Also, at the bottom of some pages is a place to click to build your own free web site ... probably how they made theirs ...

Once someone says they are willing to take Paypal take your shoes off and run away.

IMO...
NO!

Although accepting Paypal has nothing to do with my opinion
(Nigel accepts PayPal) hint hint
