Subject: Re: the Samsung GALAXY S3 from Craigslist $300
To: Jessica Hedinger <(Personal Information Removed)>


Hi Jessica,

I'm sorry, but I've been researching a bit on Interparcel, and from a good chunk of people who've tried to do transactions through them before, the reviews don't look so good. Sorry to be so skeptical, but after considering, I think I really only want to do this in person. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for your offer. I think I just have to back out of this one.

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I received the phone as a birthday gift but I already had an iPhone 4s. I
used the Galaxy S3 for 2 weeks to see how it works. Now I decided to sell
the Galaxy S3 and keep the iphone.
The transaction will go like this. The first step is to send me your name
and address and then I can send the Galaxy S3.
After I take the Galaxy S3 to Interparcel they will verify the Galaxy S3,
and then contact you to confirm they have the Galaxy S3 and the
specifications of the Galaxy S3 and that they are ready to deliver the
Galaxy S3 using Fedex or UPS.
They will also send you a set of payment instructions and once you
complete the payment to them and they secure the funds they will deliver
the Galaxy S3.
After you receive the Galaxy S3 and use it and check it and see that it is
as I described you will notify Interparcel to send me the funds and the
deal will be complete.
Can we do this?

Thanks,
Jessica
