Rachael Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Hi, just to share, received whatsapp msg from +6 017 3861143 offering some old JBL speakers model which I suspected a scammer - claimed he was referred by a local 2nd hand retailer to contact me if I am interested in his pair of JBL 4312 - switched to say it was typo error when I replied I was looking for 4410 or 4412, he actually meant JBL 4412, explained that he was not familiar with HIFI, then attached a photo of JBL 4412A packing boxes - I told him, no not the A version, I wanted original JBL 4412 - He asked, what's A version, fake? - I explained to him A version didn't have mid/high frequency level control & i attached a photo from web showing the mid/high frequency level control on original JBL 4412 - He replied he found though packing box printed 4412A, the speakers inside were actually 4412 & attached a photo of the speakers showing his claimed - I sceptical on his claimed & verified the 2 photos (4412A packing box & 4412 speakers photos) that he sent me - Though I couldn't find exact same photos from web, I noticed a very alike photo of the 4412A packing box in web which was posted in an ad at Hifishark.com - I suspect he had use this same photo, enlarged the image to cover up the venue background where the packing box photo were taken, but cosmetic dents on packing box were exactly at same spots between the photo I found in the ad at Hifishark.com - Thus I stopped communicating with him & blocked his contact in my ph Minutes later, received new whatsapp from +6 019 8065526 offering a pair of JBL 4410 for sale, I believe it's from the same person, I didn't respond at all to this 4410 offer Thank you for reading. PS: If you like to view the whatsapp conversation I had with him, I can be contacted at +65 98384219 Regards, Allen
