I just got a pair of ER4p's today shipped direct from Etymotic Research Inc. I never ordered them, my credit card online statement shows nothing. The invoice shows that the iems were purchased on 1/16/08 shipped via UPS RED. The invoice has the buyer as me, but the email address is not mine, earsex@mac.com ? OK. Anyway, I called Etymotic and told them the story and who I think is behind this.
A few years ago (3), headfi member I312ly (now banned), was selling ER4p's for a cheap price. I bought a pair, turns out he is from Indonesia. When I recieved them they were direct from Etymotic in Illinois and he had me send money through Western Union to Indonesia. This had me worried and wondering. A few weeks later he was banned (maybe the old thread is still around) because he was trying to purchase iems from Ultimate Ears with stolen credit cards and UE posted a thread not to buy from I312ly. It's why I and others recieved our iems direct from Etymotic even though he lives in Indonesia.
I don't know if was this same guy, but who would buy cans and ship them to others for free? Even if it was with stolen CC's why would he/she spend the time and have items sent to others? BTW, anybody else unexpectedly receice ER4ps?
So I was honest and called Etymotic a few minutes ago and the customer service lady told me that she will let the people who need to know, know.
