Yes. That's the point. They just lifted the pictures and text off the Elderly add, and set up a add for an instrument they don't have and have no intention of delivering. Note the payement requirement - "wire transfer only." They get that wire transfer and they don't exist anymore.

Interesting thing is that most of these scams come out of Pacific rim countries, and this is within the US - although that may be just a front address for someone actually in another country.

It's a jucking fungle out there.
