Warning To Desperate Cdj/djm Buyers!!!!!!!!!!!! Beware Of Scammers
So I was looking up some dj gears and happened to stumble upon these beautiful machines being put out for $1800!!! that's right $1800 for 2cdj1000mk3 and 1djm-800 and 1 hdj-1000. I'm not gonna lie, i'm actually desperate myself to get my hands on these babies, but thx to my e-intelligence, I was able to catch a scammer in the act. Who knows how many people hes scammed already. This dude claim that the set is barely used and that he has "financial problems" thus getting rid of it for "$1800". He also stated, "my lost is your gain", hoping that he'll convince some poor desperate person to buy it.
*HERE IS THE LINK HE POSTED IN*

So this is how i caught him.
I used my everyday email account to contact him at first, asking why he is selling it and if there is anything wrong with it.
His reply:
Hi, I sell them so cheap because I have some financial problems and in this way I want to end them fast. The equipment is in perfect working order and comes with all accessories and manuals , the price is only $1800 , in this price the shipping and handling fees are included.
Everything will be done through the eBay Trust and Safety Department. Everything will be insured by eBay. So please let me know your full name and address and I will contact them right away regarding our transaction. They will send you an invoice as soon as possible and they will let you know what you have to do.
Please let me know if you are interested.
PS: The headphones are HDJ 1000.
I then ask him:
are you in a rush to sell them? is it okay if I use paypal to purchase it?"
his reply:
Yes I'm really in a rush , I don't know if I can hold them till next month. I will try to keep them but if anyone comes with the money I will sell them.
I can't take paypal because I'm in divorce with my wife and all my accounts are blocked.
Then I ask:
May i see some pictures of everything? I want the 4 electronics to be put side by side of each other, at different angles"
His reply:
*send pictures of it. however, did not do as i asked*
THE END FOR NOW, STILL INVESTIGATING TO MAKE SURE HE IS %100 SCAMMER
all the pictures he sent, the machines were seperated. I then got suspicious of the pictures and decided to look it up on google image. Luckily, I came across this website:
http://newyork.olx.com/twin-pioneer...er-iid-13335280
they sent the same picture that is posted on this link
EDIT:
I forget to add that one other way that got me suspicious is that I used a fake yahoo account to contact him. I asked him instead of paying 1800(which is already ridiculous) can i pay 1500(which is overly ridiculous)and that if he agreed i will give him my name, address right away, and also send him the money right away. He answered yes without any hesitation.
let me know what you guys think. However, I am not perfect and this guy could be legit, so please correct me if you think I'm wrong 
Thanks for reading
