[Jukebox-list] A major Jukebox scam

[Ron Rich]

Jackie, and all,
  Sounds good to me--bet there is no answer !
  Speaking of scams--I suspect that there is one in the Seeburg section of ebay right now.
  This guy has listed a Seeburg HSC-1 ( Home Stereo Console--plays 33-1/3rpm, 12" records--which BTW, I still service), at least 3 times--once for .99cents, once for .01 cent, and the last I saw, for a buck. He says that you must email him first before bidding on the unit--also states that he may need to list this several times to "find the rght buyer" (sucker??).
  If anyone can figure out what his "game" is--let us know--My guess is that he is collecting email addresses--for what-who knows??  Ron Rich

  Hi Ron,
How's this? Just sent this out, can't wait for a response........if there 
will ever be one!

Good Evening Perry,
Well, this is transaction is not going as well as I had hoped. Yes, I got
an email from Buysafe, however they asked for payment to be made by
Westerunion only. My husband firmly refused to send money to anyone we did
not know personally via Westernunion. There are so many unfortunate scams
out there, I do agree with his thinking. Also, the invoice from Buysafe was
for the amount of $2100 NOT $800, as agreed.
My husband has, however, agreed to rent a small UHaul Trailer and drive to
Delaware to pick up the Jukebox and pay cash!! His Mom lives in Delaware so
we make the trip quite often.

Please let me know if this is acceptable to you. If it is, we would need
the phone number and address where the Jukebox is located to arrange pickup
as soon as possible. We could even do it tomorrow. If this is not
acceptable, then I am sorry that the transaction would not take place.

I am sure you can understand our positon, as Westernunion is one of the few
ways to transfer money that can not be traced or recovered.

Will wait to hear from you,
Jackie
