Her response to my email inquiring about the TV:
Hi
I still have the TV. The TV is in perfect shape (take a look at the attached pics) and it comes with 18 months of transferable warranty.
I am now in United Kingdom. I have been relocated here with my work several months ago. The TV is a US version and I think I can sell it for a better price in the US.
Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that. Please go here to see the procedure:
TNT is a worldwide delivery company (like Fedex, DHL or UPS). You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the TV before I receive the payment. If you are in a hurry, I will use 2 day delivery (shipping is on me).
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Susan
HI Susan, please let me know how you would like to move forward with this. I will definitely like to use an escrow service of some sort to handle the funds until I receive and inspect the TV. I am sure you can understand my concern.
I understand your concern but this is not the case. I am just trying to sell my TV. Did you read TNT's procedure on their website? It is explained there how their service works. Let me know after you read their procedure so I can be certain that we are on the same page:

Just giving everyone a heads up. Anything on Craigs List asking you to wire money or use a service or 3rd party to transfer money is a scam.

I found a listing on Craigs list that seemed like a great deal, but I was suspicious. I started looking and found this site. The email is nearly identical, however the name and web page have changed so I wanted to post so it may help someone else from getting ripped off.
Subject: the 42'' Philips LCD HDTV, 1080p from Craigslist $310
Hi
Yes I still have the TV. But there is something that I didn't mention in the post.
Please bear with me on this. I am now in United Kingdom. I have been relocated here with my work several months ago. I was offered free transportation and I took the TV with me. But I can't use it here because it works on the NTSC format and here they use the PAL format. I tried to sell it locally but with no luck. That's why I'm trying my luck in the US.
Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I found a service that will help us with that. Click on the link below to learn more about the service:

TNT is a worldwide delivery company but it is better known here in the UK. You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the TV before I receive the payment. In this way the both of us can be at ease. I will use 2 day delivery on my expense.
Thanks,
Susan Causley

All I am saying is thank god for google. I searched TNT and found this rip off report website and flipped out when I saw that I was almost scammed. Freakin' scammers. Here's what her(?) email said to me:

I saw this ad on craigslist for a lcd tv for $300. We are looking for one and I thought I would email about this one. The response I got sounded a bit suspect so I googled "craigslist tv scam" and found your report. Here is the email I received:
