Emily **** from Craiglist Seattle
Complaint 109316 Details

Craigslist scam from Seattle

I have seen this posted on CL Seattle multiple times

the 55-inch 3D SONY LED TV, full HD Craigslist $350

reply to the listing and you get an Emily *** that recently moved to Vancouver BC.

I have replied to this listing twice, once out of interest and the second time to see what she was all about and how she was trying to scam. I never did attempt a transaction with Emily as each time I talked about a cash transaction or meeting in person, she stopped replying. Emails below:


Hello MJ

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.
It's provide by a company called myParcelDelivery and it will help us with this transaction.
They seem designed specifically for internet transactions, they handle both the payment and delivery part of this transaction. They seem pretty nice and trustworthy and they provide a service that we can use for our exchange.
The link below is from myParcelDelivery website and it explains their procedure. Please check the link and the procedure and let me know if you agree to the terms.

With this procedure myParcelDelivery will deliver the TV to you, receive your payment and I will receive the payment for the TV only after you instruct them to do so.
I will pay the shipping.
Let me know if we can proceed.

Thanks.

Hello Emily

When can I come look at it in person? Pick it up? Where can we meet in the Seattle area?

I am assuming this is cash only transaction, correct?

Thank you

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 $350 USD. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
