[LUTE] Re: possible scam warning!!!!! be careful.... from Anton Birula
On Wednesday 18 February 2009, Wayne Cripps rattled on the keyboard: I send this kind of people an html email where I'm very interested in the purchase or selling of an instrument. There is also a nice question where I ask their opinion and they have to look at a nice website. In fact it's a super malware website that is hidden in a link with a totally different name. For people interested in a few dangerous names contact me off line. I will not repeat that here because with windows there is a chance you get a nice trojan or whatever if you accidently click on it with IE. Don't know if it worked but gives me some satisfaction. Taco Hello Anton - I got that message too, and I think that everyone selling a lute on my web page got a copy. If you look closely at the guitars pictured (from the Barber and Harris web page) you will see that they are all different! It is a scam. And I don't have a front door in Finland, either!

Of course it's a scam. Just scroll all the way down to the bottom of the very page he so thoughtfully sent you (so dumb, these scammers) from our own lute list website: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute/forsale.html#wanted, If someone seems to have difficulty writing the language of the country they claim to come from. These jerks all sound the same, and to a native or (equivalently familiar English speaker) their use of language is always a dead giveaway. I have never seen the word advert used in any of my legit dealings with builders, sellers, or buyers anywhere in the Anglophonic world. There must a school for online scammers where they learn to write this style, as it never varies. And yet, enough people are still being fooled to keep them in business- no category is immune; anything being bought or sold, any transaction on the internet attracts them like flies to horse poop.

..And, as far as I know, the person named as a maker has never built instruments, but instead makes inset guitar/vihuela/mandolin roses for hire.
