Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Arianna Welles had an ad on Craigslist for a 64gb iPad for sale in Memohis,TN. She was asking 400.00$ for it. I e-mailed her that I was interested in it and she responded and we started talking back and forth. She said she was in Wolverhampton, united kingdom at the time and found a company that would be like a third party between us. All I had to do was h*o to western union, pay the 400$ and give her the money transfer number, and a copy of the receipt where I bought it at. I did all that and haven't heard a thing from her.

   Every post on Craigslist has the following information at the top of the page :

Avoid scams and fraud by dealing locally! Beware any deal involving Western Union, Moneygram, wire transfer, cashier check, money order, shipping, escrow, or any promise of transaction protection/certification/guarantee

    For future reference, anytime anyone you don't personally know requests that you send money via Western Union or Moneygram, you are being scammed.    Scammers know that these funds are untraceable.   It's equivalent to handing cash to a stranger on the street.
