I was approached by someone named Toni Anderson on one of the facebook groups trying to sell me a Zumsteel and claiming he? was the original owner. The guitar he was trying to sell me was this one: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=380378&highlight=zumsteel

He just copied the pictures and description and sent them to me in an email. Beware.

This Zum was also identified as a scam yesterday on the FB "Pedal Steel Guitar Advice Tips & Tricks" group so watch out...

He was offering it for $3k. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

The FB group post said it was now $3K but earlier offered for $2700 and also $2800. Guess even the scammer realized anything under $3K wouldn't be believed Rolling Eyes

IF.....you could get the serial number and verify that it has not been stolen, and

IF.......you could meet in a public place to buy it in person, then

MAYBE......this could be the deal of a lifetime.

But if this whole transaction was to be done over the internet and/or electronically, then my spidey-sense is starting to kick in.

After he told me it would ship from springfield MO I was tempted to say "Great, My brother in law lives there, he'll be right over with cash." Just to see how he would squirm out of it.
