kodiakblair Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Saw this on another site. https://www.stevesmusic.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index It's a hack of a Canadian shop. Since one was reported recently thought I'd let folks ken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 That is worrying, it looks absolutely proper and there would be no question in dealing with them until you start checking the address given on the web page, no postcode shown, 308-310 Park Road seems to be a totally different audio outlet, there is no Leeds Road in London according to Google Maps When you start looking at the text next to the address you start to see some dodgy grammar and wording which raises suspicion but all in all that looks pretty convincing on first view and no doubt a good few people will fall victim to it. Why are there so many dishonest people on this planet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Lol, there is no way thats legit. Love the bit that states ‘we started in 2014’, yet the website copyright says ‘2012’ . Time travelers as well as scammers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 There's a Leeds Road and a Park Road in Ilford (greater London as said), but not that close as they are distant from each other for around 5 kilometers, so can't be at the back of Mercedes show room.

kodiakblair Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Here's the real Steve's Music, look at his banner. https://stevesmusic.com/ The scammers have pinched his web design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) They've overdone it in on the cheap prices. Just about everything is half the usual retail or far less. That immediately triggers the 'if something seems to good to be true...' alarm bells. Edited April 29, 2018 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
