I had contacted you earlier for some other product you posted on olx, but tell me know can I proceed with regard to this electronic drumset. Nagaland is way way off my place south india. I contacted because you posted as if from bangalore. Delivery will boast the price too high. Advice

Do you accept payment on delivery as from Amazon, ebay and snapdeal. I had a bad experience once before with someone else. Iam from Chennai. I now do transaction only on payment on delivery. That is why I was hoping you where from bangalore. Iam in bangalore on the 1st week of Jan. I need to see and check out the unit in the presence of the courier and make the payment in full. sorry for my rigidity. As I said i had a bad experience. Again you have not told me your best rate. I did not give my location and you have quoted 2K. Give me a final figure for the product and the courier. Can I also have the details of your shop or its website. Sorry I have to take my precautions as I had a bad experience. Is the unit having any warranty (from company Yamaha). I am on my side committed to purchase a Yamaha DTX950K Electronic Drum Kit after some reviews. Do advice by mail once we are ok I will give you all my credentials. Tnx

Hello,
Good Day Sir, firstly we have not seen from our past records that you have contact us earlier as you claimed, Also We as a seller understands you regarding your security, we also urge as a buyer to understand our security as well on the Drum Kit.
As we can see from our earlier conversations you have mentioned Bangalore as a desired place for you and we assume you are from Bangalore that was why the cost of Shipping was quoted as 2, 000 INR, Also the final price for the Drum Kit with full accessories is 50, 000 INR.
The Drum Kit is still under Yamaha Warranty and if you are able to visit you can see things yourself and confirm the quality of the Drum Kit and you will also have opportunity of checking other products we have available.
All your explanations has been well noted and well understood, We have also been cheated so many times and We understand that your security and our security and security of the Drum Kit is very paramount to and am happy you will be able to have a pick up so as to ensure that you check the Drum Kit so as to be sure of the accessories if the are complete in box and also confirm if there has been no damage on the product.
I will really appreciate if you can visit our store to make direct purchase so as to avoid damage on transit by courier and also to reduce the risk been cheated which is very good for you and our store to avoid some gang of thieves well dressed descent look are using olx targeting high end electronics sellers, posing as purchaser and running away with the products after calling to come to his place.

Thanks so much for your reply. Well I contacted you for high end guitars you or your team had posted (Gibson range). I may still have the communication mails in my box. I will see if I can link up with someone from Kohima and if so I will process. Iam from chennai (Corner Stone Function Hall, #39, Besant Ave., Adyar, Ch-20). We have a music facility called 'Music Unplugged' as well as a Gospel Music facility called 'Grace Works.' We are on FB under [protected]@hotmail.com, which is also my mail id. In our facility there is a church that happens on sunday conducted by east Indian people for them who are here in chennai on work or otherwise. I will see if I can take help if there is a member from Nagaland. But I understand that you have many dialects and that churches are for specific linguistic groups only. Sir I do not want to sound difficult but I need to take my strides. 50K sounds good. If Iam able to link up for a direct check and pick I will proceed otherwise not. Thank you again.

These persons are ruling the roost on second sales sites such as olx. The above records be a point of caution to users of olx etc.Remember no one ever sells items at 10 to 20% of its cost when it is more or less new or fully functional. Again I do not think that OLX or such sites nor the police are fully equipped to handle fraudsters on the net. A lot of cooperation and effort between olx or such sites and the police are needed to effectively bring to justice these offenders.
These guys are now dealing in bikes

These bikes are really costly and the price that they are offering would definitely grab a lot of attention. Moreover, this time they are located at Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh :)
I had to go through the same thing. Thanks to this post I realised they are fake and even the words used in the mail were copied from other websites.
