I was also surprised at the price as I thought I had seen similar models /range of those Denons sold on stereonet for far less than that. But I am never sure about which model / version is better as there seems to be a few of them with varying upgrades both software and hardware that have been implemented on them.

tommy100 76 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Hi all, Just wanted to alert SNA members of a current scam that is on Gumtree at the moment. The ad is below, and the seller actually contacted me via an australian mobile, knew enough info on the speaker to sound convincing, has an legit bank account and BSB. I followed through with payment plus some shipping costs. The seller has gone quiet, hasn't responded to numerous messages and is uncontactable via mobile. I'm about to report this to the police, however I'm pretty certain that I won't get my money back. So just alerting any members of this bogus Gumtree ad so no one else goes down the same path. 1 9 Link to post Share on other sites
rantan 10,026 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I am very sorry to read that mate and this is why I ALWAYS ask to attend the seller's premises to audition and inspect the goods first, if they live in the same city as myself. I sincerely hope you can get your money returned. Best of luck. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Al.M 1,386 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 There is also a scam going on with Kef LS50w wireless speakers in Gumtree and an attempt here in SNA from about November 2020 that I can see and was affected by.

Contact your bank ASAP and try to cancel the transfer if you can. Otherwise Money is gone...police won't do anything. Ive been there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
tommy100 76 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Thanks all for the advice. Called my bank earlier today, but transfer has gone through. Fraud team is is going to try and recover it, but chances are slim as it needs consent from the other end. Lesson learnt and a reminder to go with vigilance over desire! My bank also mentioned there’s a lot of this sort of thing going on with platforms like gumtree and Facebook marketplace etc, so good suggestion on always being present for collection, another I was told is to pay upon receipt of goods.

odb123 20 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Yeh that harbeth is probably the same guy who listed the white kef ls50w and dynaudio confidence and one other one. Basically he lists stuff kinda cheap and says he is some remote town in whatever state you are in - so you are unlikely to drive there. I wouldn't trust to send a bank transfer to anyone on gumtree let alone dudes with accounts made in the same month as listing. I contacted him about some speaker that was listed in Sydney. As soon as I heard some remote town I ignored. Link to post Share on other sites

As soon as I heard some remote town I ignored. and I will say this is same person/group that was posting Hegel amplifiers on Gumtree over last few months. Approach is exactly as per your description. There was Hegel H200 listed on Gumtree very recently where photos were sourced from ebay UK ads - it was reported as fraud to Gumtree and gone in a day.

shovel 132 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I usually gooogle image search the photo. Plus google the BSB number of the bank to see if it is in the same suburb as the seller. and pay pay pal. Sounds though that this guy was a good con. Makes you wonder how he opened an Australian bank account without correct identification. If it is the banks mistake it leaves them open to litigation. And a slap on the wrist by the regulator. I would also contact the regulator to investigate the bank after you notify the police and the bank. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If their bank closes the account, they will just open another one with another bank and it is business as usual for them - it sucks, but that's how it happens Link to post Share on other sites
