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...
Thanks!

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

A T4 for €1000 ???????
I might consider buy if get it delivered and a written guarantee that's not stolen goods before pay anything.

Cheers

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 ...

You have better chances of winning in a casino...

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

Yes it sure looks like a scam to me. And note they use a yahoo email address not a company address. I wouldn't go near this.

BIG Warning!!!
This is a chinese scam and those are the same people from china, they post also to most common classifieds online sites - posing as "local" and they will "sell" you anything you want for amazing price, often posting the same images of original boxes as picture. They have gmail or yahoo email (but also sometimes by mistake post their .cn email that's how I know they are from china)

They totally flooded the cassifieds. Of course most people know better than to buy used item without seeing it in person, but just to be sure - DO NOT EVEN TRY.
I know because I am looking for used Tyros 4 and I was shocked by the huge amount of fakes right in my "local" area and very soon I started to recognize the same reused pictures of boxes or unpacked items and the same text offering international warranty... just one BIG scam for naive people (how many are there still?)
It is sort of tech version of the Nigeria inheritance scam.
