Shyam, I'd be very careful.Someone tried to scam me on a second hand hand Tyros. I've also been advised to never send money by Western Union.
Check if it's a real store and try to phone them. Double check everything and never send money, unless by Paypal or some other trusted method.
They sent me packing numbers,tracking numbers and other references---I checked with Fedex and they were all false.

Hope it works out OK
Eddie

Thanks Eddie....Ill be vigilant.
I am sure the law in the U.K. could investigate such scams and bring them to book.I have a very high resoect for the law in the U.K .Its thorough and very efficient.I'm sure they won't tolerare such fraudulent shops uf someone alerrs them.

I'm not so sure Shyam. I went to our local police station with all the details i had.The bank account number i had to transfer money into, the e-mail addresses and all correspondence . Two weeks later i recieved a letter from the fraud squad saying " due to lack of information this case is now closed "

Eddie, that is really sad !
As law abiding simple citizens, we need to have our complaints attended to.Over here the cops dont want to register complaints as they will need to show their success rate in solving the cases. Its running around the mulberry tree and most people would rather not complain than have to go through all that red tape.
Its sad, very very sad, but we are kinda helpless, arent we ?
Honestly I didnt expect your police to give you such a lame excuse.Eventually the fraudster runs free, looking for another victim !

"Thank you for your reply, I have an agent who can come to your store and pay cash and pick up the keyboards."
Advise us of the answer.Before we go to the next step.

Good advice from the lads there Shyam and a great idea Frank see what kind of response you'll get more than likely  their reply will be that they  only trade  online. .....as my granny used to always say when something looks "too good to be true " it usually is . Ebay and Paypal warn about using Western Union which I personally wouldn't ever use.

Having said all that I purchased my Yamaha PSR s700 online in a similar situation from some music shop in Sardinia brand new in the box for a 1000 les than the listed price they didn't use Paypal so I checked them out and sent them a Bank Draft and everything worked out fine . But 1500 for a Tyros 4 you'd be lucky to pick up any Tyros model 2nd hand for that price so I'd tread very carefully if I were you .
