I got the Steinway one too, and today another "we have charged your credit card $350.00...please press 1 if you did not authorize this". I wish there was a way to electrocute them on the other end. Why hasn't someone invented this?

FYI, the spam has now evolved! For months it was a Yamaha. This morning I woke up to the same email - but the piano was a beautiful baby grand Steinway! What will they come up with next?

I have received the same offer from "Kate Schlatter". Looking for a "good home for her late husband's Yamaha Grand". Wow, what a nice and unusual gesture!!! The piano is supposedly at the moving co. in Little Rock and all I have to do is pay the movers (McGhees Movers) and they will ship it! Meanwhile, the movers only accept Zelle or other means of direct deposit. No checks or credit cards. lol. Really? Kind of odd for a moving company.
Although "Kate" sent me photos of a beautiful piano but refuses to give me her phone number or discuss the situation in any way other than via email. "She" just said she would answer any questions solely via email or I could contact the movers directly. It all just seemed very sketchy and when I read all the posts on ptg.org it finally confirmed my suspicions. Watch out folks!!!
