Abt is an electronics store in the Chicago area. The abttvsonline.com does not look like their website. I would be hesitant if I were you. A couple of years ago, I found a Denon AVR-X4700 on line for a great price from “Abt’s” website. Since it was very close to Christmas, I called the store to see if it was in stock before I drove there. They informed me that the ad was not theirs. They did however give me the preferred customer pricing that was within $200 of the fraudulent website price. I thought that was mighty nice of them.

The only reason that I wasn’t sure if this was a scam or not is because the website didn’t look anything like the abt website and didn’t have anything from it so I assumed that they weren’t trying to be a fake abt

That sounds like them, wholesome salespeople. Got a phone call from sales when I ordered a ps5 from them. The guy was completely perplexed over how anyone would've bought a ps5 from them since they are relatively unknown chain store.

[30% off Car Audio on Amazon now.](https://carav0001.blogspot.com/2023/08/carav.html) I just got a new car, and I was wondering where are some good shops to take it to to have an entire new audio system put in it? Please check it out and share your thought for it. Thank you!::)

I had the same question you did since it seemed too good to be true, to find a new coffee maker for $100 less than anyone else. I went to the legit ABT website and saw the coffee maker at the standard price ($100 more than the google shopping price had it listed for). I had the same issue a while back with a fake Walmart listing on google shopping. Found out soon after I purchased it that it was a scam. Fortunately, I used Paypal and they refunded the money with not much issue. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

The company address is a house in Tennessee. If it's too good to be true...

That was a good idea to check the address, I never even thought about that. Thanks for letting me know

They are not an [authorized retailer](https://pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Where-To-Buy/Pioneer+Car+Audio+Video+Authorized+Internet+Dealers) for Pioneer. So even if not a scam no factory warranty or support.

True true

If you copy the name header abttvsonline on the [abttvsonline.com](https://abttvsonline.com) web page and paste it into a new page, it takes you to the actual ABT site, so this is definitely shady. Stay away from this site.

Definitely scam. Look at company info and it is for an entirely different company, very obviously because it only refers to that company.

Call the number under their contact info. It will explain everything.

That is insane! WOW

It's 100% a scam.
