I apologize if this is not in the right forum category. There are some good (too good?) psg deals on vivamusic.shop, but it has some hallmarks of a scam site. Anyone have any experience with them?
Thanks!

Thread on reddit on this place. Says the phone number is in conneticut but it is a non working number and their address is in Florida. Brand new site, owners of the site hide their website registration info. I'd avoid
More info: the phone number brings up another site called Dollsy.shop and it has an address in staten Island.Similar layout of the website.
SCAM
Even more: a quick google search on the triple neck they have listed for $985. The description was ripped off word for word from a Reverb listing of the same guitar listed at $2,950

Dang! It's getting to where there are so many scams nowadays that we might need a forum section just for scam info.

Yes, likely a scam. Neither "Viva Music" nor "Vivamusic" is licensed to do business in Florida, and a GoggleEarth search shows what looks like a private trucking company at that address. |
