Hi,

I have found this add on Craig List about the 42'' Philips LCD HDTV, 1080p from craigslist $300.

I respond to add and get email back:

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

Have emails back and fort and finally last night May20,2009 I went and paid Western Union $329.00 for the TV. After few hours, I found out this web-site that I been scammed.

Please alert other people about this scam that cost me a lot. I have no idea that some people are capable of doing things like this. I truly hope and pray that this people end up where they deserve.

http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/ele/1267575224.html 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 FROM [email protected]
