Exactly the same as other posts. I saw an ad on Craigslist in Honolulu for a new 64gb ipad 4 with receipts and pictures. Reply came from Canada with instructions to use Cargo Force so that could protect my money and she could protect her ipad. Western Union suspected a problem when payment was being made to an "agent" rather than the company. Another flag should have been that I was not given a fed ex tracking number.

I was scammed because she was so accommodating. She "found" the company to ship, discovered that shipping cost $30 and she deducted it from price of ipad! I just realized that I used Craigslist but the email from CargoForce showed it was eBay developer certified.

  • Had same experience over past weeks..today stopped any further transaction once i saw notice of scam, but unfortunately had already provided my name/address/ph#. I hope there are no repercussions, but much appreciate seeing these alerts. Only wish there were a more direct way to catch these people.

  • Thank you so much for all your help to put the right comment here , I am almost confirmed the deal with same team for a iPhone 5 for 350$. I checked the web site and found it's not a approved site for any transaction. Also all your post really helped me to save my money. I have learned that the good things will never come in cheep , if you found any there is a trap behind ! Thank you all..

  • I sadly lost my $329.99 to this piece of you know what. It was a so called Robert Reges who received my money. Ive asked Western Union for a possible record, ID, or security footage of whoever received the money but all they tell me blah blah cant help call authorities. Thing is the "proper authorities" don't deal with things out of the country. Wish this person ends up paying jail a long visit someday.

  • I just had the same experience with a Jasmine Wiggins.

    Email 1: Hi,

    This is Jasmine, with the ipad 2 sale on Craigslist.

    I'm now in Montreal.
    I've added some pictures with the ipad to this email.
    It has 64GB of storage, it's brand new, under Apple warranty and it's very cool
    because it works with any company (it's factory unlocked).
    As you can see in the pictures, it's in perfect shape.
    Hoping that you still want to buy it.

    I then told her i was curious as to why she was selling a brand new iPad for $200 and here is her response.

    Email 2: I'm selling it because I've received it from work and I don't need it.
    I have found a company called Cargo Force that will deliver the ipad to
    you in the US and allow you to check the ipad before I receive the
    payment. You will be in control of your money and I will be in control
    of my ipad.
    I will use 5 day delivery and I will take care of the shipping fee.
    Please have a look at their procedure and we will go from there.

    Of course i am not only going to check out the site to see what its about, but i wanted to read reviews on the website and thats when i found the post on scambook. Thanks god i found this because when i went to cargo force site, i thought it was actually pretty cool how that works. Glad i didnt fall for it!
