Scamming - Fraud
Steves Music at www.stevesmusic.co.uk is a fraudulent online website claiming to sell guitars, drums, keyboards, and pianos. Online users are advised to stay away from the fraudulent website, and those who have shopped from it, run the risk of their personal, credit card and other payment processing information getting stolen by cyber-criminals and used fraudulently.They also run the risk of receiving counterfeit goods, or poor quality goods that look nothing like what were advertised. Therefore, we do not recommend purchasing from the website stevesmusic.co.uk.
The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity via their website domain registration. And, the Trustwave and other website seals on stevesmusic.co.uk are fakes.
A Trustwave website seal confirms that a website has passed an extensive validation process, which proves that the website has a valid business. Visitors to a website can click on its Trustwave seal, which will bring them to Trustwave's website, where their business can be verified. But, on www.stevesmusic.co.uk, the seal is not clickable, which means it is a fake and placed on the website to trick visitors into believing the website has been verified as trustworthy by Trustwave.
The cybercriminals behind the fake website will use another website and change the name, once the current website has been taken down. Therefore, only shop on popular and reputable websites.

Hi,I also fell into the trap of the fake online music store by purchasing a Novation MiniNova Synthesiser for less than 80 dollars and paid 12 dollars for the freight.I decided to buy only one item first to be sure whether the site is real or not before buying other instruments I had hoped to buy but I got nothing delivered to me and I got no response when I sent them a mail.I will have to cancel my card as soon as possible.
I too have been "stung " by this site - I wagered on a Roland rd2000 for $160 aus - then noticed all the suspicious signs - bad grammar / no actual stevesmusic when googled on maps / no replying to emails sent/ fake phone numbers/ etcI have contacted my bank and they say give traders 30 days to deliver otherwise they will follow up on my behalf - have meanwhile cancelled my card but unfortunately, they have my name email and address - worrying!
I did warn my friends and other people on Facebook but they just wouldn’t listen thanks for the info though
Yes, I purchased an item from Steve's Music.paid on credit card. Received no receipt or confirmation of order. My credit card was used to make a fraudulent purchase the day after. All reversed, card cancelled but likely they have other personal information. Steve's was advertised on Facebook.
This was really very suspicious...Thank you for the information...And God Bless...
HI I have made a mistake. The website looks so real and ordered few items . I think I lost money. I purchased and it shows the money is taken from China.Is there any way to get back the money?I was dreaming off all the instruments which I thought is gonna come in few days.
Contact your bank for help.
Hi, thanks for the information, the question was very suspicious
