Mail the site owner and let them know, so they can block IP from scammers. Might not help that much, but good for the owner of the site to have som feedback :)
Re: Audiowoof scam alert
Where did you get the idea that AudioWoof is "not moderated"? Ads that are assessed as fraudulent are deleted on a daily basis. You can reach the staff at info@audiowoof.com if you have concerns.wonky1969 wrote:Audiowoof is not moderated,I told the faker I have reported to the relevant authorities,and the listing is removed,no coincidence me thinks.

You always have to be very careful if you are buying audio gear second hand online. You can find a page with general advice here: https://www.audiowoof.com/safety.php
Re: Audiowoof scam alert
We have now implemented a routine where we screen all ads before they are published. This is of course no guarantee, but at least most of the trollish spam-fraud will go away.

Re: Audiowoof scam alert
I was notified of yet another scam an AudioWoof.
https://www.audiowoof.com/show_ad.php?AdId=3873
The seller copied our AudiogoN ad word for word and used one of our photos. Unfortunately someone already sent him money and paypal is involved in going after him. The seller is claiming he 'really has the speakers and he'll be shipping them soon'. It's ironic his english is so poor yet the ad was written in clear English...by me!.
I've contacted Audiowoof twice as had the buyer and yet the ad is still running.....
I'd avoid this site unless you can actually speak to a legitimate seller....in which case they'd be using a mainstream site like AudiogoN anyway.
