"I'm getting back to you about the 27" iMac I'm selling on Craigslist.
I'm Rebecca and I'm now in Toronto.
I've attached pictures of my Mac to this email. It's 2012, under Apple warranty and in perfect shape.
I hope you like it and you wish to buy it :)
Let me know."
Scam on Craiglist selling a 27" iMac. Using the same email responses as all the others and using Parcel Friend for the transaction.
I didn't look up anything ahead of time. I was scammed out of $450 trying to buy a used memory 16G Imac Desktop With Box on Craigslist. Always check on something to good to be true.

In my case, someone by the name of Kelly McCall got in touch with me about Samsung Galaxy S2 (Unlocked) for $200.00. i checked online for reviews and fortunately decided not to make those payments. What makes it easier for everyone to notice that this is a scam is as follows:
1. The person will only reply your email once in a day, even you reply to their email within minutes of receiving.
2. So call safe method using ParcelFriend payment. If this was a legit people, payment options probably would have been on their official website using credit card or something like.
3. On the contrary, the invoice asks you to make a payment using Western Union and that too not to "ParcelFriend' but the "agent" inspected those items. To top it of, the emphasize on the invoice that it has to be cash payment and not online.
Last but not least, and probably the most obvious of all, the repetition of common language used for trying to scam other as well. Below are a few lines that were the same as the ones that the unfortunate person wanting to buy iMac got.
"hi my name is ... and i am in Toronto now.
i have attached pictures of ... under warranty and perfect shape.
i hope you like it and you wish to buy it:)"
Please be careful everyone. I almost fell for this scam!! -
