A musical instrument retail website offering impossible prices on high-end instruments has been uncovered, with suppliers immediately moving in to close it down. The website, vibemusicstore.cc caught the attention of Simon Young of the Vibes Music in Plymouth, initially because of the website’s name, but then caused alarm as the site was offering high-end musical instruments at something like 80 per cent mark down.
Young got in touch with MI Pro to ask whether we could alert the industry that the dodgy site had nothing to do with him.
Phoning the contact number on the vibemusicstore website (a British mobile number) went through to a gentleman in Dubai, who denied any knowledge of the online address. Vibes Music has since contacted suppliers, who have assured him that they are acting to close the site down.
Phishing sites are created to tempt people into transferring money, while no product is ever intended to be shipped.
