I run a local magazine and from time to time we get letters from locals who are offering items to other people for free so an email offering a piano wasn't entirely out of the ordinary. However this one is a courier payment scam and on reflection there were a number of red flags that we could have picked up.
The email we received was from andreafreeman90@hotmail.com but this could come from other addresses too.
Don't pay any money for something without seeing it.
Hi,
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.
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. 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,
Andrea Freeman
