At that price they would lose money everytime they sold a Pa2X. It is definitely a scam. Run away as fast as you can Smile

Kind regards,
Tommy

hey,
i told you i want to pick it up. if i cant pick it up in person i dont want to purchase the keyboard from you.
i am in singapore so why should i have to pay for shipment?
unless which seems to be the case you are a fraud. since you only except payment through western union and bank transfer. you wont except payment through paypal and you will not provide a proper address of your store for pick up which is clear evidence that you are a fraud. you continue to dodge the request for a valid address for pick up, using repetitous rubish about shipment!
i done some reasearch about your company which clearly shows evidence of a scam!!!!!!!!!!
by the way since i contacted korg about you, you are not an authorised korg dealer and to purchase the korgpa2xpro at retailer/dealer price is at least 2400 USD so who do you think you are puting a STUPID price that only an idiot will fall for!!!!!
i am reporting you to alibaba unless you can clearly satisfy me that you are authentic which i believe is totaly impossible.
Goodluck in your fraudulant scams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does all this mean? Is there any problem?
You can pick up directly to our store if you are in Singapore right now.
If you have any problem, please don't talk to me like this.
Is there anything I can help?

Exclamation

there you go... you be the judge. total load of crap. there is another idiot called dimus sampurna in indonesia excuse the language but same sh*t.

my transcript with him is much more decorated... however i couldn't be bothered wasting my time pasting it here.

there was another guy who used KORG HONG KONG PTY LIMITED to scam people on ALIBABA.com... follow this link. http://shimworld.wordpress.com/2007/11/21/hong-kong-scam-alert/

My advise to you and anyone who wants to by a musical instrument BUY IT IN PERSON FROM AN AUTHORISED DEALER!!!!!! END OF THE STORY.

good luck mate i hope i have convinced you not to deal with these pric*s.

Regards,

MR korg

Guys DO NOT buy anything over internet unless it is ebay and pay them with paypal ONLY.
Or proper company and well known websites.

There are thousands of people like that guy that wants to grab your money, i've seen heaps of that s**t with similar stories.

My Friend bought Guerrini accordion over the net paid $5,000 and when it arrived it wasnt even Guerrini, inside, half of the parts were missing and parts from other cheap accordions were installed and tied with tie wire.

Do not send any money unless they provide FULL details and make sure you check those details, ring by phone and ask for pick up.
