Scam Description
Elaborate hoax here! I am a professional musician looking for a quality Yamaha piano. Low and behold on Facebook Marketplace here pops up a almost brand-new piano for free…wow! So I contact the old lady and she says her sister is moving to Canada soon and this piano is packed and ready to go. I get an email from her sister saying this is Sooooo great my piano will have a good home my husband died and I REALLY want to give you this amazing piano since you are a musician. She gives me contact information for the mover and I chat online – wow this is great (of course feels too good to be true). We get down to the nitty gritty when the person online says “We only take Zelle, Paypal, and Venmo”. I was like what? Huge red flag…the company is TONY INNAIMO TRANSPORT based out of Australia of all places? They have an address on their website of 1408 East Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28203 so I Googled it an of course it is just a strip mall. Website https://www.tonyinnaimotransports.com/ – also hilarious on their website as there are no logos on the trucks.
