I had a someone email me offering to donate a piano. It sounded too good to be true but I had to find out. I think you’ll be pretty surprised by what I uncovered.

New piano? There's lots of pianos for free around western Pennsylvania. And they aren't scams
Ok I got the names of cash mules so how do I report them?
"I leaned over" got me dying
I had a similar incident that happened to me (almost) 2 years ago on Facebook Marketplace when there was a guy how was selling a "Free" Piano, and had the same sob story of his wife dying (shown here).
If you looked at the picture, the piano they were showing was from a possible store. Thankfully, no money wasn't spent on the scam since I didn't proceed to the payment and all that yada yada. π
Can you make a link for the best place to report these mules? I almost think the irs would be more effective as they will want their taxes.
They will throw it on top of you like in cartoons.
Thatβs expensive for delivery. The fact that they create websites to appear real is horrible.
I got a phone number off of my dad's phone and started texting them and they wanted to put advertising on my car and pay me to advertise on my car I had to pay the guy to come out and put the stickers on my car and they would send me a check too cover it I had them send it to a business that was not mine It was fun wasting their time
Is Eileen married to Ben?!
x is pronounced z π zavier. with a z. not x-avier.
Believe it or not, it is possible to get free pianos.
They are buckly, take up lots of space, and hard to get rid of.
When somebody has two first names on a social media account, be REAL SUSPICIOUS!
Nigerians nightmare π
As a piano teacher, i get this scam email like every other day π thankfully i never fell for it! Also one that asks me to play at a wedding
KINDLY
It makes me wonder why people fall for these scams. I just can't figure it out.
Another two first name Nigerian. π©
i swear the fake names get funnier every time
Some joker currently has a free Steinway in Vegas. I am a piano tuner two hours north of there. Thereβs no way I would fall for that! We did, however, have two individuals here in our home from Pakistan. They came to clean our ducts And you know the rest. 460 bucks, however I was at my bank the following day after my wife discovered your channel! By the way, the local cops are in on their shit, so hopefully theyβll get them!
Remember your lessons, if you see the word "Kindly" run in the other direction
"Sing us a song you're a piano scam"
Where I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains, older people still routinely use the word, "kindly". It's part of mountain english. So that wouldn't have necessarily been a red flag to me since I'm used to hearing it. Thanks for the headsup.
His videos go so hard with milk and Oreos
oh my days, nigerians never fail to disappoint π€¦ββ
Funny or sad always nigeria

You would think they would at least try an American accent lol
9:25 I've NEVER known email 'ping pong' to work faster than a phone call.
I did University in Britain in the late 70s and I say kindly, sincerely, lovely, βfinds you wellβ. Born and raised in Western USA. I also call people by Miss, Mister. I think the Nigerians are using old formal English from England.
"Be a man" lmao
Am I the only person to actually get a free Steinway? π
Xavier is pronounced "Zavier" do not pronounce the X.
As soon as the video ended i got an ad about learning to play piano lol
I'm a home health aide and one of my clients has an antique beautiful piano and she said the same thing she can't get rid of it nobody wants it
Kindly
I got a piano this same way. I paid for the delivery and the piano was free. I thought i was going to take lessons and learn to play… that was 4 years ago. On an unrelated note, does anyone want a piano in the Atlanta metro area? π
