Hey guys,

I currently have paid over $1500aud for a Yocto2 from Pharmasonic (https://www.pharmasonic.jp/) from Oli in Japan, but he has
since just stopped replying to my emails so I believed I have been SCAMMED! It's frustrating because he made my NAVA 909 in 2017 with basically
no issues or long wait times. He just chooses to not reply to my emails now, I've waited months and months for a reply and I've paid him Mid-late 2017.

So I'm looking for someone that is reliable and trust worthy. I would not recommend using Pharmasonic.jp for any future synth/drum machine builds.

Talk soon

I am a vintage synthesizer collector with 35 years experience. In June 2021 I purchased 3 vintage synthesizers valued over AUD$2500 from Pharmasonic.jp (Moduleart JP / Modulart Japan) that were shipped as empty boxes to an address in another city, confirtmed by Australia Post. I found 9 more people at the Facebook group "Pharmasonic delivery issues" with the same issue, the web store owner continually makes excuses about JapanPost not helping and making mistakes or Square being unable to somehow process the refund, he and simply wont refund, and eventually he tells you to make a bank claim. I researched the web shop, the items on sale (which many have been sold over the past 10 years on reverb.com, yahoo Auction and eBay as the user "nava_yocto" and "CEM3320" using the same item pictures he uses now). I identified the owners true identity and locations he operates from in Japan. When I confront the owner with the evidence, he said he doesn't want any trouble and amazingly I got my refund the next day. All of this is documented. It took until November 2021 and over 60 emails. Most people are not getting refunds with an estimated $200,000 defrauded. The owner hides behind the name Ori is Olivier Trambouze who fled from France in 2006 after doing the same fraud with the same item pictures, then he was known as "cem3340".
