obviously a scam. just look at the steinway pianos - they just copy pasted from this site: Quality Used Steinway Model M | Broughton Pianos

and yeah, the address they listed is the nigerian embassy in london :man_facepalming:

In the footer they also list a different address and contact email for some coffee equipment distributor in New Jersey, with slightly modified info

Nigerian prince in London and he wants to give you all his money! he traveled all the way to London to give you his money in person!


it’s so easy to track clones of these sites, just take a piece of a static page and google it, for example same site different merch, these still work but there are plenty of closed ones…

Looks like big tech is hand in hand with the scammers, as it has been listed in Goggle search shopping section for months.

it’s probably paid ads or something, until people get scammed, report and close the shop the scammers already made pretty good penny and all google can do is close their accounts but they can just restart operation with couple of new domains.
until google start verifying real shops somehow there’s not much to do except don’t buy at these weird places, try looking for the address on google street, try searching same pattern from the static pages like TOS/FAQ/About pages, usually they just close same site with different template so it’s easy to do, just copy a piece of the text, wrap it in double quotes and google it.
for example this site has UK address but in TOS it says:

SECTION 18 – GOVERNING LAW
These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States.

weird, right? so you copy something like FAQ part and google it, you’ll see same text on plenty of same shops with different templates
