So one of my customers text me and says look at this:
So these con artists are harvesting pictures and descriptions off of different sites. Like this one came off of Reverb and then they are “discounting“ the price so when an unsuspecting person could send them their money, and they never receive anything.
If you go to the site, you’ll see there’s 100 guitars on there I’m sure they all came from Reverb.
And then I found another one with one of my guitars that I’m not currently selling that I sold in the past they took off another site
I filed a complaint with Shopify. We’ll see what that does.
But they just keep popping up. It’s like playing whackamole

Perhaps all these scams will help bring back brick and mortar stores. Between the scam sellers and unreliable delivery services shopping online is becoming a crap shoot.

But Brad, don’t you feel flattered that one of your guitars was picked for the scam?
