I have to say that I emailed the person(Bruce Jenson <[email protected]>) for the item (Iphone 5) in craiglist. This is the email I receieved:

"Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the iPhone 4S with 64GB from Craigslist

My name is Bruce and I am now in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The iPhone 4S is not available anymore.
However, I work for Apple and I have 20 iphone 5's with 64 GB. I was offered a discount but only for 20 iPhones.
All of them are black, factory unlocked and have 64 GB of memory. I want $450 for one
Let me know if you want one.

Thanks,
Bruce"

I asked him about shipping charges
- "so how can i meet to check phone or pay for you???"
and I received an email where he wrote this:

"Hi mate,

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

Cheers."

I received an invoice from RapidParcel with an order number(Invoice Number: US1869407066CA), details about item, delivery and the instructions for payment.

I went to Western Union, sent money, emailed the info RapidParcel requested: MTCN (western union 10 digit money transfer control no.), Payment sender name and amount transferred. ([email protected])

Then I received an email from RapidParcel that Western Union confirmed the payment and the delivery will be on Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 01:00 PM EDT Fedex Epedite Freight Services.

No merchandise recieved yet. I emailed RapidParcel to the email address ([email protected]) and no response yet.

RapidParcel should investigate this ASAP! It’s their company name and reputation in stake here.

The website has to be a false website because the link to it is in the invoice they send.

Please, everybody who read this pass the word.
Thanks!
