Craigs list scam Used .42" Inch Philips Plasma TV - $450 Wolverhampton Internet

I Found what I thought was a great deal on Craigs List

Used Plasma TV: 42'' Philips - $450

responded to the ad and recieved this:

Hello
I still have the TV. The TV was made to be used in USA, and does not work in the UK. I have attached some pics with this e-mail. I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that:

www.tnt.com/tnt.express.wolverhampton.depot/third_party_service.html

TNT is a worldwide delivery company (like Fedex, DHL or UPS). You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the TV before I receive the payment. If you are in a hurry, I will use 2 day delivery (at my expense).

Let me know what you think.

Best, Susan

along with a bunch of pictures of the TV

TNT is a legitimate Company and the link that she sent me looked exactly like the real deal.

I agreed to the deal, 'TNT' sent me instructions to make payment.

'Through this email we have the pleasure to inform you that the merchandise has been left in our custody. The shipping fee has been paid by the Seller. The Payment Information (in this case about the Western Union Money Transfer) must be sent to us for verification. The Payment Information that you need to send to us are: MTCN - Money Transfer Control Number, Sender's Name and Sender's Address, Amount Transferred. Please send us the Payment Information at: TNT On-Line Payment Department'

I ALMOST paid for the Item via western union and sent them the transfer control number. IT WAS THEN THAT I HAD A SECOND THOUGHT AND DOUBLE CHECKED ON WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO DO!

TNT does not do 3rd party shipping period.

I ALMOST got scammed but good! These guys make it look totally legit and until the last minute they almost had me.

Please don't let this happen to you or someone you know. Spread the word!
