Am Freights 

Thank you everyone for posting. We were going to get trapped with this Facebook piano scam.

First it was a Free piano on Facebook marketplace. Then I got an email from their uncle Byrne tegaroll71@ gmail.com saying the piano was already in transit. You contact amfreights.com to reroute it, but money up front of course. My freight contact was Tosin Adelakun TosinAdelakun@ ymail.com trying to get money sent over zelle.

My wife and I got excited to see a grand piano on FB market place. It seemed a little too good to be true. After reading through these other reviews, they are word for word what we were sent (costs, the story, etc). Glad we double checked. Their website is: amfreights.website/. There were a few spelling errors and graphic mistakes that caught my eye at first. Be careful everyone !

There is a shipping scam going around using Facebook (FB) and perhaps other social media sites. It began for me with a post on FB by a Lilly Martin who appears of Latin ethnicity perhaps, in the photo posted. However, the picture by no means must be an honest photo of the individual posting these ads, since they are a consumer scam. One Lilly Martin advertises an “Exceptional Petrof grand piano + Steinway Chair and Wheels,” Free. Responding to the post, one receives the message that Lilly has a sister who is moving and if you write her via email, she will coordinate the free piano with you, and because she’s a doctor, you can trust her.
Red Flags:
1) A Petrof Grand Piano of the calibre shown in the photo posted on FB, retails for just under $100K to far above, without the bench and wheels. Normally, one does not give away a fine grand piano of this quality on social media when it can be sold, or donated for a handsome and needed tax deduction, while also benefiting music conservancies and other needs. This is especially true in today’s economy, in my opinion.
2) Miss Lilly Martin refers you to on FB Messenger to connect with her sister via private email and to trust her because she is a doctor of some sort. The customer/consumer is being led off the FB site to a private site for greater bait and switch normally, when this is occurring.
3) Taking the bait and contacting the sister, Dr. Valeen Rose, leads to the receipt of the email from Dr. Rose who shares with you of the death of her husband, of her move, and of how her husband would not have wanted the sale of the piano, so you can have it if you coordinate with the shippers, she then provides the necessary info.
It is at this point in building the email chat with Dr. Valeen Rose, that she will redirect the consumer to “AM Freight,” which is supposedly the shipping company moving her dead husband’s piano along with her belongings, to her new home. Dr. V. Rose has kindly provided the necessary and essential referral ID number, which she just happens to have ready to provide, so that the consumer can now chat directly with the freight company to arrange delivery and set-up of the piano. Conveniently, AM Freight has a simple format which fails to work, save for their chat line. They are not taking any new clients, have no phone number or other information services, address which can be located to exist, etc. as reported by others – did appear confirmed in our experience as well. At AM Freight chat line, a ”Raul,” entered the chat and requested the referral ID number: WRV1081YVWOPL for the Petroff Piano. Thank you for your patience. * Item ID: WRV1081YVWOPL. * Item Package: Baby Grand Piano * Item Weight: 527lbs * Item Provider: Dr. Valeen Rose”
They show a photo of what appears to be a packaged piano, however, of what make and model one has no idea, nor of what condition. By agreeing to accept any pay for the packaged item site unseen of the product within, the consumer buys the item “as is.” PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM.
After confirming that the information for Dr. Valeen Rose appears correct along with the faux piano boxed and unseen in the photo, which could be in dollhouse miniature, the alleged Freight Companies Raul then provides you the cost breakdown to have this supposed piano shipped to your location and set-up in your place as follows:
* COST ESTIMATE: According to weight and miles, it will cost a total of
~ $798.00 (3 day delivery with insurance)
~ $680.00 (5 day delivery with insurance)
~ $590.00 (7 day delivery with insurance)
Red Flags Cont’d-
4) Packaged unseen piano is probably just bricks and cardboard wrapped to look like something it is not.
5) The piano was supposedly “Free,” and not to cost anything. When one is going to need to pay shipping and delivery charges, as well as unspecified insurance costs, then this item is no longer free.
6) There are grand piano’s on sale on FB and elsewhere for around the same price and less, as well as free piano’s which really DO NOT cost anything but the time and labour to go pick them up. BUYER BEWARE.
7) These con artists have taken your personal information and can abuse that information if permitted; especially if you go further and pay them money. The last thing you need as a consumer is identity theft moreover. They can also sell your personal information. Be informed and please be careful.

"The Baby Grand Piano used to be owned and played by my husband who is now deceased and it was last tuned July this year before he passed, I'm almost done moving my properties and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell his piano, at the same time I'm not happy seeing it around because of less storage i have in my new house, so I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument."

Then you have to pay 600$ to Zelle (why zelle?) and before delivery? (why before?) they have your valuable item, they get paid afterwards not before.

And the agent is very much in rush to have you pay.

Fakebook marketplace Scam of free piano! shipping wanted Zelle. SCAM. THANKS

Glad I found these reviews since I almost got caught in a similar scam. They were supposedly giving away a free piano following the death of a husband and impending move across country. Claimed to be a doctor on Facebook marketplace and wanted me to pay shipping only to redirect the piano. I should have known this wasn't real because the person on Facebook literally joined Facebook this year...sketchy. I'm urging folks to look deeply into something before just purchasing it. it can save you from being scammed.

Huge SCAMMM! So sad people spend this much effort to steal money from those who actually wanna make a positive influence through their work.

This fake company am-freights.com is used as a front to scam people on shipping charges for free stuff in Fakebook Market Place. I inquire about a FREE grand piano and was directed to this email: smithangela231101atgmail.com. Can't believe people fall for this crap without checking these clown out. Don't fall for it, am-freights.com is a scam.

Don’t fall for this scam!

Agree with all the other reviews. Chat was closed. They even tried to reference a real business. They review from the owners mentioned this fraud. Invoice PO Box is not even a real address. Thanks for everyone else's reviews. Dont get Scammed.

As with others, I was sent to this website from a Facebook ad. After chatting with a representative, I said that I had given the company a quick Google search and found some reviews saying they were a scam. I asked to continue the conversation on the phone, and they abruptly ended the chat. The seller on Facebook made up an elaborate story about their spouse passing and how they were in the process of moving. They even went as far as to ask for pictures once the item arrived. Do not be fooled by these scammers.

SCAM! They run Facebook ads and then try to charge shipping and it’s a scam

Company is a scam. Stay away. They put items up on Facebook marketplace and then send you to this site to make a sketchy payment via your bank. Just look at the general stock images they use online for their testimonials. It isn't legit and the names are fake in the payment.

This company is a scam, they list items on Facebook marketplace and then make you talk to this website am-freights.com to set up a time to deliver the item you are interested in. They will send you an invoice before you pay which has a fake address and phone number. They then want you to pay for the delivery through Zelle. In which the contact is a random name and email, not any email that has their business name. The listing is then deleted off of Facebook marketplace as well as the profile that was created. Luckily I was saved by my bank before I sent money. But super sketchy.
