As with any high priced technology you intend buying online, you should be very careful who you buy your audio gear from. There are obvious websites and suppliers who we all know are legitimate and will not attempt to scam you, and there are also sites such as ebay where you have some protection against unscrupulous sellers, but with independent websites and individuals online it can be difficult to know who you can trust. There are simple ways to check, such as trying to find previous customers of the site, either from the company themselves or by searching for their name online. Additionally you can use a free reverse lookup website to try and find more about the seller.
