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: (((ROR redacted))) 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 CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

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: (she also had attached pictures) From: Susan Checel ([email protected]) Hi Yes I still have the TV. But there is something that I didn't mention in the post.

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: 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 Since I saw your report, I'm not bothering to respond. Thanks for reporting your experience!
