Pianotech

Has anyone gotten any strange text messages lately from a Los Angeles area code looking for a piano technician?

In this instance, he says he's looking for a piano technician for his boss. He goes on to say the piano is located my very small town, and he also asks if I sell pianos. He then directs you to Whatsapp where you can text with his boss to schedule, etc. and it gets personal quickly, which is what tipped me off (among some other things too). I'm still not sure what they're after because I just stopped responding, or whether they're just targeting my area (Washington, DC) or the whole country, but it's surprising that they are so specific as to say they need a piano technician. A fellow technician in this area got the same text, except this time the piano was located in his town. It can turn in to a huge time suck if you let it.

Anyway, curious if anyone else has gotten this as well.

Yes, about a month ago.  Her boss wanted to buy a $150k piano.  I asked where they were located and it was about 15 miles away. I suggested we meet at the coffee shop in town, but she only wanted to meet on WhatsApp.

I can't figure out the scam, could be that if you sell them the pianos they want persona/bank info to secure the sale.

The end game is ALWAYS about money (getting your money) somehow. Putting all these experiences together I suspect that the scam is aided and abetted by an AI bot with some sophisticated scheme that is carefully concealed from "normal human thinking". 

I may have received one of these, however I have now gone to instantly deleting ANYTHING that I do not already know who it's from. I figure that if it is legit, and they really want me, they'll find a more "human" way to reach me. And this has now been proven true enough times to support my "extreme" deletion/spam/non-response protection system. 

The AI of course is designed to fool you into thinking it's human so as to get your guard down. However, they're still stupid enough that an astute human can detect their game (as you all have done).

Happened here in N CA (707) several weeks ago. Smelled fishy, but I played along a bit. Caller wanted me to call his boss on WhatsApp to set up an appointment.

I said that the 'boss' needs to call me as I don't solicit business. All communication ended when I said I don't use WhatsApp. 

I do have WhatsApp but only for several overseas friends. The end game? Probably data mining your information for nefarious purposes.

Almost any text message I receive from someone I don't know I consider junk and ignore. Rarely do I make an exception. Making first contact with me for piano service via text is really a stupid idea for anyone requesting legitimate service. On the rare occasion that their text message seems like they are not just, say, price hunting or a scam I invite them to call me so we can discuss their needs. Fortunately, and not unexpectedly, that almost never happens. Text messaging is, for me, a really bad business tool. Text messaging is an immediate communication tool. If not dealt with right away, they're too easily lost in the stream or just plain forgotten. Should an existing customer contact me for service via text my reply is almost always, "See email reply." Text messaging is great for real time contact, like letting a customer know that traffic is causing a delay in my arrival, or chatting with friends, but, seriously, not much else.

Yes, I also received a text from someone named Jessica, asking about a $150,000 piano for her boss. The number was (213) 557-9147.

I directed her to our sales rep, who later discovered it was a scam. He was then contacted via WhatsApp, where the messages included Chinese translations.

Very odd. Stay alert, everyone!

Here is AI answer to the situation..

---

This scam likely involves overpayment fraud or data harvesting:

1. Overpayment Scam: They pretend to buy a $150,000 piano, send a fake payment, then claim they overpaid and request a refund. The payment later bounces, leaving the victim with a loss.

2. Data Harvesting: By moving communication to WhatsApp and engaging with personal questions, they might be collecting personal or business information.

The use of AI-generated text helps make the scam more convincing, and the Chinese translations suggest potential overseas origins.

Best practices:

 Avoid engaging further

 Block and report the number to your phone carrier and the FTC/FCC

 Warn others in the community, as you did in the forum.

These scams often start with niche-targeted inquiries, like piano tuning, to appear more legitimate.

I received a similar inquiry. When the "boss" contacted me on WhatsApp, she offered me a $1,000 "reward" for helping her find a piano for her daughter. I suspected a scam from the beginning, but the "reward" wording prompted me to block the contact.

The use of WhatsApp is also a red flag because AFAIK it's untraceable. If one has a good reason to "disappear" that'd be a good way to do it.
