    If some PM's you asking to reply to an email address, you can bet it's 100% a phishing scam.

    Wished I either had a new csia6 or my $260 about now. I’ve never been scammed before buying anything online.

    I mean, did they have any posts? I'm not sure if their being banned has changed their post count, but it shows "0" right now.

    As far as the member that got scammed ... I'm glad they reported it and all and kudos to Ivan for alerting the proper authorities, but I've had at least four transactions here in the past year and all have been 100%. I don't do deals with members that aren't established. Caveat emptor.

    Am I not thinking of this right?

    No you’re right, it’s on me. It felt funny, but I needed the matching center for my upgrade to 5.2 and eBay and us audio mart didn’t have any.

    I’ve made 100’s if not more purchases through forums and have never had one issue. I have had several here as well. I guess I was too comfortable.

    OK, I think I read more into your post than you intended then. I am sorry that happened to you. A good reminder for others, though, I suppose.

    Back at it!

    I reached out to you after hearing about your negative experience. I have a CSI-A6 that is probably not ever going to be used by me again. I was prepared to offer it to you for simply the price of shipping.

    Instead of responding to my message you chose to attempt to discredit me publicly. Good luck with your continued search for a center.

    Sorry, this was my mistake. You sent me an unsolicited message, just like the other spammers did. however, this time it was about a center channel that I never inquired about. I NEVER wanted a center channel. I was originally looking for another RTI12. Thus, I jumped to the conclusion it was yet another spam attempt.

    Looks like a simple mistake all the way around. @RyanJoz might be the one who’d be interested in a CSI-A6.

    I own up to my innocent mistake. My intention was never to scam anyone, on the contrary.

    I got that same one today; just a form letter with the product name swapped out. Guess I should have checked here first before responding with how many scam red flags his or her message raised.
    Polk LSi15 fronts, LSi7 dual centers, Linn AV5110 sides, Polk RT15i rears, Emotiva UMC-200 pre/pro, Carver M-1.0t MkII front & center amps, Parasound surround(s) amp, Crown XLS1502 & Dayton 18" sub, BenQ HT2050 projector.
