Doctor J Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I bought a couple of sets of "Elixir" strings of a local online retailer and they arrived today. I opened them up and right away knew they weren't the real thing, I've been playing Elixirs for a long time now. I'm so disappointed, not just because the scumbag is ripping people off, but also because I was really, really looking forward to some new strings. I like a bit of zing, you see. Anyway, I've contacted Elixir to give me an email address I can send some pics to, just to confirm, and then I'm off to paypal to file a claim. Then it's back to the seller. Not sure what to say there, to be honest. It's put a real dampener on the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Everything's faked these days. Online selling makes it easy for scammers. If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Very true. I would expect it from sellers in some countries but when it's someone about 50 miles away trying to rip you off, it's a genuine disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
