Hi,
Looking for a sound card occasion I find this web.
https://musicplux.net/index.php/acceuil/ Can someone tell me
if it seems a scam or not? I emailed them and they answered me, but nothing
in the mail telling me that was coming from a business man (no name shop or number telephone or…). Haven’t find any address and the web is quite strange…
So…I’ve been suspicious…
Maybe someone knows ways to easily unmask it.
…by the way, any french people knows something about that web/company??
Thanks

I’m French, I might be wrong, but this seems so weird. I really would hold any purchase for now.

Yeah seems dodgy. Amateuristic at best. Scam at worst.

I can t find a way to browse products but from the homepage i can get to this page with random news items… https://musicplux.net/index.php/category/non-classe/
And apparently they can t make their mind up about whether they re called Music Plux or Music Plus.
I would definitely not spend any money there…

I think it’s not even a scam, maybe a test website…
OP ? What does they said you in the email ?
The prices are… well even for 2nd hand tjazs to nice to be true. A4MKII for 700€? I doubt that.

What’s this website
I asked how much of warranty and if they ship to Belgium…they answered that:
Summary
Bonjour

Merci l’equipe MusicPlux
That tilt on me, and then went to look again for the web and feel bad…
100% a scam the site is only 5 days old and the domain is registered to someone in Benin Africa.

This store is just near where I leave in Paris. I was saying myself that I recognize the moog. I was window shopping one month ago the grandmother and other moog.

2 years warranty on used gear!
Oh and the products for sale are all rather high end. Not bad for a village on the Corsica island (ile de Corse).
Scam for sure. No doubt.

Next time, try using “whois” network tool. This website was created on 16/11/2019, there’s no way it’s been created in 2006.

They also have an Audiofanzine profile (french music website) : https://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/1226579/ and it’s very recent too.

Perhaps @alejander can report the scam at audiofanzine?
