SCAM WARNING - DO NOT SHOP AT THEBWSOUND.COM

The website is a scam so do not purchase anything on that website.

If you have found me online here’s an explanation of what’s going on…

My name is Ben Whyntie and I do own a real company in the UK called The BW Sound LTD. We have traded as a recording and rehearsal studio called The Old Blacksmiths Studios in Portsmouth, UK, since 2013.

I used to own the domain name but I gave it up in 2022 as it became redundant to my business.

The current website at that address has nothing to do with me or my company but whoever is running this site is not only defrauding people of money but they are committing identity theft as they are using my actual business address and company registration number to add legitimacy to their scam.

It’s clear that people are googling The BW Sound and my real company info and name are coming up. Due to having a unique name I am easily found online hence why you might be here.

Fortunately I have been able to warn some people not to purchase anything and explained to them who I was and how the situation had unfolded.

This last week I have received a letter to my business address and a message via the contact form on this website. Unfortunately both these people thought they had purchased a copy of the music software Serum 2 but had not received their download codes or license keys and were understandable frustrated and demaning refunds.

I have reported the website to the National Cyber Security Centre, Action Fraud and also directly to NameCheap and to Shopify.

Please do not purchase anything from this website. You will not receive anything and will lose your money. Until the relevant authorities take action please share this message to help stop others being scammed.

Take care, Ben.

The beating heart of your music.
