Scam Description

I saw an ad on facebook marketplace for a free baby grand piano. After messaging the seller, she said she was giving it away after her husband died. She said the piano was being moved but I could pay to have it re-routed to me. “Dr. Sandra” sent me the swiftmover.co website with a moving ID. I tried chatting with an agent on the site who sent pictures of the piano and asked my address. Luckily, at this point I had only provided my email and phone number. I started to notice the site had a few red flags (typos, address right next to the White House, no real reviews on google, phone numbers not working). I did some further investigating and found a complaint on here that shared the same exact tactics/email verbiage. I will be blocking the email and the seller profile on facebook.
