    Hi guys.

    Please learn from my error. Dasacoustic (https://www.dasacoustic.com/en/index/) the once popular plinth maker is no longer functional and I believe taking orders and not delivering as a scam.

    I ordered in May and received communication until August. Then I was told her family was ill and the next thing 0 communication.

    I ordered through PayPal and paid for buyer protection. Unfortunately when I lodged the dispute I did not escalate in time and apparently that means I forfeit all my rights. f**k Paypal.
    So I lost 1200 euro. I've requested a credit card refund with my bank but they said low chance since it's been more than 120 days.

    I found a page that when converted to English explains many people have been caught out too.

    The company is only taking IBAN bank transfer now and no longer accepting paypal from what I understand. Not a good sign.

    please also see 2 recent purchases on ebay where the product was not delivered: https://www.ebay.com/str/dasacoustic?_tab=feedback

    It's a shitty situation for me but not the end of the world, others should NOT buy from Dasacoustic as it appears they are now just a scam site.

    Have a lovely weekend

    Never heard of them. But then I've never followed the classic-turntable path, and never bought a plynth. I looked at their site.

    Beautiful products. So sad that a company that was making such lovely things to grace the looks and sound of great decks would have gone this way. And I'm very sorry for your considerable personal loss.

    This is horrible. Making this front page to bring awareness. Can't believe they are scamming but leaving their site up.

    Report the fraud to the FTC and have them barred from doing business in the USA. Company is based in India.

    Whilst Das might be an Indian[-origin] name, their site suggests Hungary. Their ebay store page states Hungary and gives an actual address. The sales page there just says all sold out.

    (but is this actually DAS Acoustics or a stockist?)

    This info email is the compromised email. I don't think there is any Indian involvement in this business. Das make them themselves (or atleast used to).
