genuinely want to respond to this because wtf is the scam here? subject line is "Gift Piano"


Hello,

I'm giving out my late husband's Yamaha Baby Grand Piano to any passionate instrument lover. Let me know if you are interested or have someone who would like to have the instrument.

Thanks,
Castillo M. Carmen

xp Here's the scam. They want you to pay for "shipping." You'll never get the instrument. It's a low-dollar, high-volume grift.

I encountered this in reverse when I tried to sell a piano. They sent me a certified check for the instrument plus shipping. I was supposed to pay the shipping company. The check was fake, of course.

Selling a baby grand piano is not easy.

This one made it past google's spam filters into my inbox.
