New Xone 62 for $650 USD with warranty and free shipping?

Ok, I have an urgent question. Has anyone heard of Altex electronics? They sent me an email offering me a brand new Xone 62 with a 3 year warranty and free shipping for 500EURO plus 50EURO for a Western Union transfer fee to Italy (approx. $650 total). I confirmed the order then they sent me a proof of delivery with a UPS tracking #. I went to UPS.com and entered the tracking # and it seemed legit- it had my name and address. Now all I have to do is make a wire transfer for 550EURO to complete the transaction. Here's the funny thing, I visited the website http://www.altexitaly.o-f.com/ and they had lots of tvs and other electronics for pretty cheap but nothing remotely related to dj equipment. I'm worried about fraud because this seems too good to be true but at the same time, it seems legit. Please help me out.

hmmm this does sound dodgy... that is so cheap! Best price I have seen for a xone62, and this is a very good one, is about USD$925. I live in Texas and there is a chain of computer warehouse type stores that retail computer parts, networking components etc etc... their name is Altex Electronics... and they certainly have nothing to do with Italy. I can't help but wonder if these people in Italy are using someone else's name to sound slightly more legit? Of course, this is speculation, they could be perfectly legit... if so, I'll take 50 !! That wire transfer deal is the thing that sounds really dodgy though... why can't you just pay by credit card! Hmm.. be careful.

Dude, you should have made a deal with them:

You should have told them you would send 60% as the first transaction and the other 40% upon arrival.

When it seems to good to be true, especially from a supposed retailer asking for a western union money transfer, it most likely is..

A legit business will have different pay options credit card, phone orders, etc.
I almost got slammed when i was first buying my technics 1200s from a person in canada requesting western union money transfer. My luck that western union contacted me to verify that I wanted to do the transfer, because the person was a bit suspecious, as he had requested several transfers for the same amount, and I cancelled the transfer.

I was researching a bit further and most frauds occur through money transfers. I would look into it a bit more before making the decision.

If i decided to order it and it never came but it showed up on my credit card statement, I could always dispute the charge. The only other thing I'm worried about is that it could appear to be a xone 62 from the outside but something else on the inside. That's not an unreasonable concern is it?

Im advising bro, just avoid the headache and purchase from reputable dealer rep. Especially for dishing out big money like that on a mixer, it will be worth getting it from an authorized dealer.

call PSSl and see if they'll match that price... If not then it probably is too good to be true... Pro Sound and/or Guitar Center will match any price from andy reputable dealer... So if they say no way then I probably wouldn't trust it.

VERY (too) cheap products:

the sony vaio GRX416SP is on sale in germany for 4400 Euro (!) and your site has it for 599 Euro

too good to be true, I'd say.

I'll take stolen equipment any day as long as it's cheaper! :

I wouldn't go through Western Union, my friend got screwed out of $1000 on Ebay, dumbass used Western Union. If they use that, it's almost always fraud...
