Devil's Sponk?
Well, Craiglist London certainly seems to be a scammer's paradise. Not much of a story here, but a common one I'd think.
Landed there by googling for VTL amps. Up comes one I'm looking for at a price too good to be true. Email the vendor asking whether the pre- is still available, where he is in London and whether a functional demo is available. His reply: "Still available mate." Ok... I get the message...
Bit more googling using key phrases this time from the extensive and credible blurb and land on the ad on Audiogon from which the scammer has cut-and-paste everything but the asking price. Look at several more of this ilk on Craiglist London. Same thing.
Scammers paradise... if people fall for it... Presumably no-one on PFM though...
