I've heard stories about these type of online scams - but I never got to experience one of these for myself. Essentially, I purchased a Les Paul on Reverb.com and the seller sent me a box full of garbage and two other items that I'll let you find out about in the video. They did this so they could upload a real tracking number so they could run away with the money. Luckily, Reverb says they have my back and I will be getting a refund. At the time of publishing this video - I haven't been refunded yet.

The Trogly's Guitar Show what is Sam hell is going on here?! Poop fart
How much for that lp??
So what realistically happens here? Obviously you'll get your money back, but is there a way for Reverb to be like "hey, this dude is scamming" to the guy's bank or some shit and take back the money that they gave to the scammer?
Dude, that's piss
only a republican could be that cheap ass
Trogly is such a nice guy he actually thought that was lemon ammonia in that bottle

Way of the road Bubs.
My brother & I were watching this & that was my 1st thought when i saw the jug. They sent him a bottle of piss.
Trucker bomb
A big jug of pp
Soak the guitar overnight in the magic liquid and it grows into a Les Paul :)
Best comment ever :D
It's p*ss
Omg really :DDD
I GOTTA TRY THIS!!!!
lol
It’s a DIY Les Paul
Looks like he shipped you the R. Kelly signature model.
Derek Demerjian Goddamn this is funny
*PEEPEE*
Fucking hell lmao
😂😂😂
How long will it take to fill that bottle!?? LMAO, that's dedication
As a former FedEx employee, I can say that shipping any chemicals (hazardous its self or otherwise) of any sort without proper labels not only violates company policy, but also US, and almost every other countries shipping laws. You should defiantly notify FedEx if you haven't already.
Cole Jemine usps has hazmat
@@thedoughs8031 Literally every shipping company or business operation that deals with chemicals have hazmats
they would say they were looking into it, give you some BS, and than never look at it again. They don't care unless some big profitable business like amazon or evike did that, not personal sellers unfortunately. This is the USA after all.
I’m an unloader at UPS and if I’m handling a hazmat without knowing I’d be pissed, that’s dangerous for me. People really do ship explosives like fireworks and other cancerous chemicals, so that shit needs to be labeled appropriately that way it can be HANDLED properly and with caution.
it's pee, he pee'd in the galon.
If that really is ammonia, call the feds, it has to be shipped with a HAZMAT placard indicating the type of chemical, and it was shipped over state lines. I dislike scammers.
You're right. HazMat shipping without lables/placards is HIGHLY ILLEGAL. Nail that dude to the wall.
Sorry, I’m a truck driver yes it’s illegal but under a certain weight and classifications it can be classified as ormd, if not the minimal fines the feds would receive they wouldn’t even bother with investigation. But don’t let him know this, tell him you did call the feds and they are coming for him!
@@witnessthewrath8061 correct like 3500 gl, but FedEx and USPS ask if there's any liquids in the package, and lying to the accepting agent might get them in trouble.
That was my first thought. ...why use that instead of water? Cheaper. Less rules. Less trouble.
Depending on your state laws , shipping hazardous chemicals through the mail without declaring and labeling them is mail fraud
Should have reported him for the ammonia, highly illegal.
My father works for fedex and you’re supposed to sign and confirm that there are no hazardous materials in the package. By failing to do so put package handlers and delivery drivers at risk, and fedex could pursue legal action against the seller. I would inform them, they might have his info on file from the shipping origin point
Sure
@@thedevilsadvocate5210 oh haha I get the joke lol it took me half a second... literally
I guess it turned out to be a “Less” Paul. Sorry you were scammed!
I gotta give it to you ... you make light of even a scam situation. I would have been furious! haha. Hope Reverb gets things sorted for you!
I can laugh because I know Reverb will have my back and now I have a fun story to share haha
@@Trog it gives me a piece of mind you trust Reverb, I’m about to embark in there but I was a bit skeptic. Thanks man!!
He didn't lose any money.
Reverb shouldn’t allow users with ongoing business, like in this case the item had not been delivered yet, to delete their account. What a POS! This guy!!!
Congrats on the new baby! 👶 🍼
Reverb should fine sellers for scamming.
I fell into a scam when I bought a Super Reverb Amp on Reverb. The Amp arrived, definitely not in mint condition as listed..scratches, rips, broken corner, etc. The tubes had to be put back into it, as they had been packaged separately. Looking at them I noticed they looked strange. They were broken. Looking inside the amp, the tubes had been broken off up inside the sockets, then taken out and packaged. I called the guy who sold it to me. His story went back and forth on how he had never actually seen it but had bought it and taken the sellers word on it being mint. This went completely against what he had told me on reverb about him inspecting it and it's cherry. He has me send it back so I can get my money. I do get refunded. But, so does he for the cost of the amp. He told reverb that I packaged it wrong and it was completely destroyed when he got it. So, somehow it was all my fault now and I was told by reverb that I need to be more careful from now on. I told them to get their business straight and recognize a scammer instead of paying them out.
Whoa, crazy
I was scammed on reverb. Took hours of phone calls with PayPal who refunded me. But the seller had no history with reviews, I wont order from such sellers anymore.
Congratulations and sorry at the same time Trogly. I saw a bottle with yellow liquid and immediately thought the worse...
I would contact the seller about the bow in that guitars neck, it looks like it may be twisted. Is the truss rod cranked?
This dude's voice is somehow entertaining to listen to.
Alicanto Xenica when he set Met Tal😀
Congratulations on the addition to your family. Hoping everyone is doing good.
There's just something scary about a package when you don't know what's inside, I'm not even kidding!
Hmmmm... I wonder what's inside this package. Lmao, why is it ticking?
You realize they check the shit out of shit getting shipped right? That’s why most your stuff you get is already opened
My first thought was it's a piss jug. I guess that would be about right if you ordered a "guitar" from a dude named Ricky lol 🤘🇨🇦 #tpb
Shit scams, Bobandy
Ah, I thought the same thing when I saw the orange-colored jug. It would take a very special type of asshole to pull that one off
Ha ha! Love that show.
Way she goes
🎵Ricky was a young boy. He had a jug of piss 🎵
You handled it better than I would. Thank goodness Reverb takes care of its people. This video popped up in my feed two days after I bought a Les Paul Ultra from someone on Reverb, so by the title alone I refused to watch it until the new guitar could get settled in.
Congratulations on the new baby!!
I hope it's not urine 😡 I would find that dude. Sorry you got scammed man 😔
That’s definitely urine.
The scammers taking the piss.
That's what I was thinking
It absolutely is a gallon of piss
High priest of the church of tea I watched it 3 times now 4 because of you 😆😒
This is the very reason I don’t like buying secondhand online; I simply don’t trust people.
Wolf H like guitars cars houses nope
It's why i don't sell online. it's just too easy for someone to say i sent them a box of rocks. then it's he said she said. I've sold gear locally on Craigslist, and i prefer to buy locally on craigslist, but i have bought many things used online also via, ebay, reverb, Guitar Center, and even Music go round. so far so good. i think it helps that i'm not a Gibson, fender, marshall kinda guy. those big 'lifestyle' brands seem to attract the most scammers.
@@slavesforging5361 is there any way to combat the whole "he said she said"? photographs maybe?(may also not be enough)
Congrat on the new baby 🎊🧸
Yup, just weigh the item you own and fill the same weight in a box so it's equal weight of the product or near enough and ship. More people are filming goods before opening them up due to what has to be the oldest scam in the book. Years back people used to purchase consoles and take the box back with stones in it used to work in a game store and some lad tried that on with me, got to say made me laugh especially when he ran off leaving the box behind free stones! :)
People did the same with Lego sets. I remember reading that a few WalMarts just put the returned boxes back on their shelves and then people bought them and found the stones/etc.
Lol. What's wrong with people.
This felt like a dark web mystery box unboxing
True lmao
freaky as hell ha ha guitar funny prank scammer.
If you tried to do that here in Brazil the first 5 episodes would be scam
Nem me lembre, comprei uma Cort Evl e tomei no cu
@@dehasim amg meu pagou 3000 numa gibson em 2003, recebeu uma epiphone com truss rod escrito gibson

I just started watching your videos a weeks ago and I’m pleasantly surprised to find out you’re right across the bridge from me. Also congrats on the new addition to your family
Congrats on the new baby!
Just needed a little truss rod adjustment hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂. So sorry someone decided to do this to you. Congratulations on your beautiful new family member 👍
Trogly I’m sorry that this happened to you, especially around the holidays. Good thing Reverb has your back. Love your videos and hopefully we will see a Greco guitar soon (I’ve got a modified lefty one if you want to record it lol)
I'm dying to add a Greco Mirage in my arsenal. An Iceman would be ok, but I want and OG Mirage with a set neck.
My Greco '79 Eg-800 is my favorite guitar. Sold my les paul yesterday
I've got a '79 three pickup EG600 that I've modded into my own little thing, also lefty
buranflakes My Greco is an 76’ EG-900 with original Macon pickups, Modified pots and capacitor upgrade
@@wessoncolt1844 Mine has Seymour Duncan pickups, original pots and caps, and a 6-way switch
I love your very insightful video with a great production quality!
Not gonna lie, I thought that was a pissjug at first.
Loved the Davie504 shout out. Don’t understand your obsession with all these weird 6 string basses though 😂😂😂
Definitely do the review. Slappers unite, lmao.
Epic!
SLAP like NOW.
fake bass.. i'm calling the police
@@gabrielcornea9119 oh em dgee
Insured or not you sure did take that scam well. I'd seethe the kind of incandescent rage that would see me glowing from deep outer space!! You're a helluva guy! Good luck with future purchases. 😉
Congrats on the baby, pal
Return address? I’m fifteen minutes from auburn let’s go.
Yep I'm in Auburn
I wouldn't trust that the return address is genuine. Scammers have a habit of using fake addresses.
I ship a lot of stuff at work through FedEx and unless it’s been dropped off at a depot there has to be an address where the parcel was collected from.. definitely worth a shot
Im 15 from auburn too lol
Im in Auburn as well
Congrats on the new born! Sorry about the scam. I am glad reverb will have you covered
Oddly enough, that brand of ammonia is sold at dollar stores, lol. Picked up your guitar at the same time!
Congratulations on the new baby
I like the black logo shirt. Hope Reverb can get at the scammer’s bank account but I bet everything’s now been closed and they’ll have to write it off. Keep doing regular searches for that guitar. Bet it shows up again at some point.
Fed ex scans your drivers license when you ship out a package,Should be a way to track down this pos
That's why every scammer that has used fed ex has been caught! Oh wait....
There's always a way to catch them
enjoyed the video. You had a positive outlook on getting scammed...we all probably couldn't say that. and the pale moon tele was just beautiful.
Wow! This is crazy, I guess I’m lucky to never have been scammed like that yet. I bought Marshall head’s, Marshall Cabinet’s, Guitar’s, all kinds of stuff off of eBay. Well, at least you got a new subscriber out of it. Sorry that happened to you dude, I will be watching in the future.
Yeah, I would have NEVER opened that box in my house (or without gloves - Yuck!). Straight to the police station and let them deal with it. Have FedEx tell you where they picked the package up, or where it was dropped off, since shipping caustic chemicals like that is illegal. Sorry, dude.
Police can't do anything. Washington isn't their jurisdiction.
The ____/3000 doesn't mean it's a limited edition, that's just the amount shipped in that specific shipment.
Just found your channel via the Reverb Scam video. Love all the unboxing videos! It’s like Christmas every day for us musicians.
This guy must be rich,if I just lost 500 bucks I'd be mad as hell.
He was covered for a refund
Nice thing about shopping on Reverb. You're covered
He get his money back with that video ;)
Do you have not idea how these website work? All you have to do is contact customer service and they will send you your money back through PayPal. He didn't "lose" any money. But it was a waste of time.
@@ipuya That is with almost any big online company like Amazon and eBay. Had this guy never shopped online before?
Bastards. All those scammers out there.
I have never seen a Gibson Les Paul studio for $500 maybe 10 yrs ago
@@davidallen346 you have to remember Trogly's in the matrix, he usually gets these guitars for buyer prices, hell he even personally wrecked the sparkle deluxe market for a couple months. They went through the roof. He only seems to log out to make content and do family things.
@@user-no2oz5mh7x he tries to low ball that creepy seller lol and end up getting rip off can't blamed him tho the price was too good to be true. He''s making profits it seems with a good sense of humor and zen like calmness about him. He has revived the P90 chambered Les Paul market.
@@davidallen346 just gotta be patient on criagslist. I bought a Gibson for $400 earlier this year.
@@DrDizzleFrizzle Which Gibson guitar make and model year
I would like to have seen how Brad the Guitologist would have reacted to getting that scam package, 100% closer to my reaction lol
Oh yeah
L O L Brad would drop more expletives than the first few minutes of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker video
He would have blamed Hillary or Obama! HeHeHe...
@Donald Lentz Tinfoil Hat Alert!! Danger Danger Will Robinson Danger Danger!!!
Congratulations for your new baby
I enjoyed this video and will look up “Trogly’s Guitar Show” as soon as I can.
Didn’t know you were a Buckeye! Wondered why I liked this channel so much. I worked in Northwood for years too
Memorable because of the little Trogly coming into the world! Hope your family is all doing well
Poor Mr. Trogly, Sorry you got scammed. However I really enjoy the reviews you have on your channel. I hope that things turnout better next time for you.
I'm glad you kept your cool through all this. I only buy expensive items from brick and mortar stores any more.
I WANT A FULL REVIEW OF THAT TINY BASS GUITAR TOY THING(by the way, congratulations for your third child)
I respect the hell out of you for having such a great attitude about your situation. This is messed up on so many levels, I am glad Reverb made things right with you. Really dig your content by the way

That tele at the end is stunning
Congrats on the baby also yes do a review on the mini guitar
Congratulations on the third little troglodyte!
Some could say that little baby guitar is a 4th little troglodyte
@@YTOxygenLess i mean
I think you have great courage to tell your story. It helps us all. Thank you.
Guy has a 3rd kid on the way and he just causally online getting ripped off for 600 dollar guitars
It makes good TH-cam content so. Not a bad investment after all.
Henrik Petersson I think the whole story is bs... like you said “good TH-cam content”
It's a fake video
eagleeye128 Love how wrong you are....
Making around a dollar or so per thousand views is fairly normal can be less or more as it fluctuates through the year for a large number of reasons.
But with the amount of views the video has 1k would be the upper limit this video has made and that’s over the course of time it’s been out not one lump sum. But the video may well have only made more around $500 by this point no way to know truly for sure as only his dashboard would be able to show that. But 3k for this amount of views? Well beyond doubt that.
Makes you wonder how he's competent enough to inseminate a girl. Much less actually get one naked.
This is the reason I either buy new or in person or both.
Yes, there is a problem with shipping ammonia. You can’t just do that without proper packaging & markings. Mostly, it’s super dangerous.
I never comment on videos but you have changed that. Great video and very well informed. Thank you!!!
Congrats of the Baby.
They likely sell the shirts at cost or at a loss. Every shirt they sell becomes a walking billboard.
Do RC pretty sure a profit is made on those shirts. Probably no more than $6 cost to manufacture. The wholesale price on a blank black T like that is about $3.
Congrats on the little guy Trogly!
I have been playing for 40 years and never thought to learn about the guitars , thanks Trogly gibsons are great
Congratulations on new family member.
That pisses me of so much, screw that guy. People like that should be charged with a fedral crime.
sorry about this one, man. getting scammed sucks. i got screwed out of a $700 order and the app i sold on refused seller protection. and congrats on the new child!
Wow, that was weird! ... Congrats on the little Trog!
That pale moon tele is gorgeous!
wow, you took the scam like a champ! good on you man. i'm glad Reverb will at least reimburse you.
I just watched a video of a guy who sells car audio equipment on Amazon. He was cussing and complaining about how many scammers are returning products or not returning the actual products sold.
I would say that there are as many crooked sellers as there are crooked buyers. I’ve been burnt many times by fraudulent sellers.
So, if I’m going to put serious money on any item, it’s local/regional purchases only.
But, I enjoy your videos. Much braver than I with your money.
you know, your type of content would normally bother me, but for whatever reason the way you shoot and narrate these is relaxing to me. i can watch your videos all the time, even though i really dont care about collectible guitars
I would like to see a full set up and review on your new guitar...haha!
Please give us a review of that toy guitar
why do you sound so happy? I would be livid lol
Ralf Hulsker because the story is not real... it’s just TH-cam content. That’s why he sounds so happy
He falls for this yype of shit often, so either staged or hes innocently used to it
@@rajgill7576 I almost...ALMOST...feel bad for him.
Ralf Hulsker He said in the video that reverb was covering the cost for him
@@The_Reading_Gardener you really think so?
That’s why you look at the sellers reputation.... you could’ve avoided this whole situation.
Yes, always check the seller out.
This is a great video. I’m a buyer on Reverb, I’ve never had an issue, sorry there are our scammers but awesome that Reverb protects you.
I immediately thought of the movie Seven. "What's in the box?"
That sucks....but kinda funny at the same time. I am sure Reverb will take care of you. They are great.
It's not funny,man.
heyyyyyyy......nice to see a fellow nw ohioan...im from defiance and i am really digging your channel...congrats on baby #3
You must be a very calm person. You took getting scammed pretty well. It's tough to think that alot of people save up for a long time to be able to afford a nice guitar. And could get scammed. Dont get me wrong anyone getting ripped off is BS. But for some folks it could really set them back. Glad you made this video so people can think a little harder about making online purchases
What a sucky thing to do to somebody! 🤬
Wow. Damn bro. Thank you for the lesson.
Wow! I was just about to order a guitar that I liked on Reverb and this really changed my mind!
First time watching. Wow what a bummer! Hope you get your money back. Makes me worried buying on ebay now.
I think it's time to start cutting off fingers, or the hands of scammers and thieves. Or at least a tattoo of "THIEF" in the middle of the offenders forehead. I guess I'm just old fashioned.
I agree
Nope, you're not old fashioned. I think any one of those ideas are great if not all of them.😁👍
You should totally review this guitar.
And the ammonia.
This scam no longer surprises me given the society we live in. What surprised me however, is how you proceeded to handle/open said package without much if any gloves or protection. Congrats regarding your newborn and stay safe.
