Steve's Music UK Another Music Shop Web Scam

[kodiakblair]

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.

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?

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.

Fender Elite Jazz Bass for $121.38. Wow bargain......I bought 10!!!

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.

Here's the real Steve's Music, look at his banner.

The scammers have pinched his web design.

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.

You'll all feel pretty stupid - I've just seen it says "100% authentic" so there's nothing to worry about after all

"Too busy to timely reply"

"Free confident to make the order"

...yes, indeed
