Craigs list Sony 55 inch 3D. Received email from From: "Emily Collier" <[email protected]>
Subject: the 55-inch 3D SONY LED TV, full HD Craigslist $600


Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the 55-inch Sony LED 3D TV, 1080p
full HD from Craigslist

My name is Emily and I am now in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The TV is still available and I hope you are still interested.
I am selling the TV for $600 USD. I have attached some pics with it to this
email.
About the TV I can say it's in good shape, no dead pixels, no scratches, as
you can see from the pics I've sent. Included in the $600 price is
everything the TV came with when it was new, including the original manuals
and warranty papers.
I tried to be as thorough as I could with the presentation so you can have
all the info if you decide to go ahead and buy it. So what do you think? Do
you want my TV?

Thanks,
Emily

I was checking for a way to make the exchange from here to you in the US
and I came across this option, which is a very good way to make this
exchange.

procedure. Please check the link and the procedure and let me know if

  • 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
