I have seen an MC352 for 1,000 and a MC402 for 1,500 bucks,,,and various other suspicious pricings....like a Mc2000 or Mc2200 (dont remember) tube preamp for 1800 or 1300....

Does anyone wanna go see?

Why do they ALL sound like some version of the "ignorant savage" being pandered to by Explorer Guy?

I don't see any link at all.

Indonesia? I wouldn't touch that with YOUR credit card! LOL - and why did that e-mail sound vaguely like those African spam e-mails - you know, the widow has 10million dollars and needs to deposit some of it in YOUR account?

 

[WhiteSE]

LOL....i would be surprised if they arent wasting their time...no wonder they wont ship to Indonesia...they dont want some local going after their butt!

Bank wire only tells the story too. Unfortunately some unsuspecting newbie could be sucked in. That is what these creeps are hoping for.

Audiweb scams

I saw WhiteSEs' obsrevations on the Mc scams over at Audioweb. I received the exact same email from these scammers after responding to an MR78 tuner ad. They listed N.J. as there address. Audioden

i emailed someone at Audio web...one guy has a feedback of 5..but all the guys that left him feedback have zero feedback....how transparent,,,,I wrote wondering if anyone did any kind of oversight at audioweb...

I guess not!
