I hope that the people who are buying stuff have used credit cards.

This is a genuine screen shot of the options when you try to 'filter' the shop.

As good old Esther Rantzen used to remind us regularly… “If it seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is.”

[jimbobothy]

… I’ve forwarded this onto the real shop to see if they know about it!!

I had to look that one up ha ha 😄

[asingardenof]

Definitely not. This is whereabouts in the UK their location claims to be.

[jimbobothy]

…. just incase people were still hopeful of the bonkers pricing on the above web site, it is definitely a sham site and do NOT provide any details to them. I’ve just heard back from the actual AltoMusic folks and they have taken the steps to report it as fraudulent.

 

Mods you can close this if you want now thanks 👍🏻

But with three question marks, doesn't that stray into Pratchett's punctuation theory area? “And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.”

[jimbobothy]

lol, I've only seen a quote in reference to Pratchett's punctuation theory upon trying to look it up. I did however learn a new word, Interrobang 👍

 

I also counted 6 exclamation marks, even too many by my standards, sorry 😁
