To make a very long story short. I found a deal on craigs list for a PS3. The seller claimed she couldn't use it in the UK due to the differences in electric voltage and plugs etc.

Hi there,

Sorry for my late reply but I'm currently in England, Wolverhampton. I was promoted to Sales Administrator and I have to take a 6 months trainning program here in UK, before I'll be back home, in States.

The PS 3 is still available, in perfect condition, and I will sell it only in US because here the warranty and the SonyCare are US registered. I can't use the PS 3 here in UK because it works on 110 V. I didn't know about this problem when I moved here. Also I don't have time to play because I work all day.

I have attached some pics with the Playstation to this e-mail so you can see the condition of the PS 3. I bought the PS 3 2 months ago and it still has 22 months of Sony transferable warranty remaining .I hope you are still interested and we can make the deal happen right away.

Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that:

www.tnt.com/tnt.express.wolverhampton.depot/third_party_service.html

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 PS 3 before I receive the payment. If you are in a hurry, I will use 2 day delivery (on my expense).

Let me know what you think.

Best Wishes,

Jenny

She had pictures of it and the specs and all. She wanted to ship through TNT. I've heard of them before (they have a location by my house in Wisconsin) but never used them so I went to their website and checked out everything. Everything looked legit. So I sent my money via western union wire. They even sent me back an invoice with a link to track the status of my shipment. It read Pending/ Awaiting payment confirmation. I received no response within a day.

I decided to go onto the website directly and try and search. Nothing was to be found. It was then that I realized that I was duped. Too late though. They already got to my money. Now I'm just trying to stay positive about the whole thing. Hopefully we can catch these people before they strike again.

I got the same story as all of you guys. They told me about a 42 inch Phillips Plasma HDTV. They hyped it up, and pretty much looked like they cut and pasted the e-mail they sent me right from the one they sent you guys. Thanks for the posting this information, b/c now I know it;s a scam. I haven't sent them any money yet, but I am stringing them along like I am sending it. We need to catch them. Any suggetions? No one should have to go through this. K

What was offered on craigslist to me was a 42" phillips hdtv plasma for $375. Too good to be true is the case. Susan Harsford was the identity they used. I was also sent pictures. It all looked legit until I looked up her address online. Then i KNEW it was a scam. I posted this as a thank you to all the other victims who posted stuff like this. much appreciated ----------------------------------------------- Ok, the tv looks good. I just want to use a secure payment form. I know how to not be scammed, and since we can't meet in person, I'm already on my guard. Jon Hi I understand your concern but this is not the case. I am just trying to sell my TV. I see that you dont know how our deal will work out. 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: http://shipeutnt.com/tnt.express.wolverhampton.depot.overseas.transactions/details.html Best Susan ---------------------------- ------------- On the last email the link did not work, but this time it did. As long as we will be using TNT, I am willing to buy the tv from you. Did you know you listed the tv in Las Vegas' craiglist? Thanks, Jon -------- Hi Jon Yes I knew. I posted the ad there because I live there. But right now I have been relocated here with my work. I am selling the TV in the US because I can't use it here. I will sell you the TV for $365 with everything in the pictures included, I will use 2 day delivery and allow you 5 days to inspect it. Shipping is on me. Your total price will be the $365 for the TV + a fee ($30) for sending the money to TNT. So, do we have a deal? At this point I need your name and address to start the deal. Best, Susan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi You can check out TNT's payment options here: http://shipeutnt.com/tnt.express.wolverhampton.depot.overseas.transactions/paymentoptions.html The amount is in american dollars. My address is: 21 Maplewood Circle, Wolverhampton, S31 3GT, UK. And my phone number is 1819934055. Anyway, I went to TNT today. The guys from TNT told me that they will send the TV to their technical department for inspection and then they will notify you. They will also notify you with the instructions you need to complete your end of the deal. Please complete your end as soon as you can and keep me posted. Best Susan

thank you very much for doing this. I was about to get screwed by these guys, i even sent the money transfer. I googled they're address out of shear curiosity after the fact, and your report was the first thing to pop up. I called western union right away, and they stopped the payment, and sent it back. I can't tell you how thankful i am. As consolation: your lost money saved my money.
