Like others here, a woman by the name of Emily Newson ran an ad on Craigslist (Boston, MA) for a 55" Sony LED television for $350 that was two months old. I should have realized right then and there that it was too good to be true. Regardless, I sent an email of interest and later that day "Emily" replied to me indicating she moved to Vancouver Canada but the TV was still available. In addition to the message, she sent several more pictures of the television. In the end she asked if I was still interested. I replied with where is the television -- Boston or Canada? Later that evening she replied it was in Canada and that she spent the afternoon researching a company that would deliver the TV and then collect the money after my approval of the TV (via MyParcelDelivery). Sounding extremely suspicious I did a web search on complaints against MyParcelDelivery and found this website. Very fortunately I hadn't made any arrangements and therefore lost no money. I feel bad for those of you that did and wish there were some way to recoup your loss. They are clearly excellent scammers. I wrote back to "Emily" with a link to this website and told her she and related scammers not only ruin for 'real' sellers, but that she was truly dispicable. As you might imagine, I have not heard from her again. I truly hope others are smart enough to do some investigating before they lose their money. I thank you all for writing your complaints. Had I not come across them I too would have been out of money.

  • Hi, I'm the CEO of myparceldelivery.com - a legitimate and well known parcel delivery site in the UK.
    Recently, some people have been running a scam via Gumtree and craigslist - creating websites such as:
    http://www.vanc-myparceldelivery.net/en_language.internet.transactions/index.html
    http:// us-myparceldelivery.net
    (and a number of other extensions)
    With the intention of defrauding customers by pretending to sell iPads and requiring payment via Western Union.
    Our company - myParcelDelivery.com - is in NO WAY related to these scam websites with various prefixes.
    MyParcelDelivery.com is a UK based courier comparison site and we do not sell ANY physical products or work with agents selling or arranging shipments of such products through our courier services. As a further note, we do NOT accept any form of payment through Western Union to a specific person. All payments on our website are through Paypal or recognized Credit / Debit cards.
    As soon as we have become aware of any such sites adverting through Craiglist, Gumtree or other such sites, we have immediately contacted the company hosting the fraudulent site and provided evidence to prove that people are illegally exploiting our branding and content and asked them to remove the offending website. To date, we have closed over 10 of these domains.

    We want to protect consumers from these scammers who are defrauding people and also tarnishing our good name by creating these fake sites. If anyone comes across any further sites of this nature, please contact us via http://www.myparceldelivery.com/contactus.aspx and we will put all our efforts into shutting down these fraudulent sites.

    Regards,

    Paul Haydock
    CEO, myParcelDelivery.com
