I contacted someone on my local Craigslist about purchasing a used Macbook Pro for $600. When "Laura Hagens" emailed me back, the email said that she was now in Manchester, UK. I got suspicious and googled the name and found another report here from just a few days ago, with an identical email.
Here's what I received:
Hello,
My name is Laura and I am now in Manchester, United Kingdom. The laptop is still available and I hope you are still interested. This Macbook Pro was ordered brand new directly from Apple on March 23rd. The laptop works perfectly and it has never had any problems. Included in the $600 price is everything (right down to the original box that FedEx shipped it in) with the order from Apple (manual, cleaning cloth, etc). The laptop has almost 2 years AppleCare coverage until March.
One important thing is that the laptop is a US version so the software is for the US and also it doesn't need a power converter.
I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail so you can see the condition of the laptop, and I hope we can work out a deal.
Just to make sure we are on the same page, I am selling the 15" MacBook Pro, with 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 Gb memory, 200 Gb HD for $600 USD. Please get back to me and let me know if you like the laptop and if you are interested in buying it.
Thanks,
Laura
I was already feeling suspicious, but I am sooooo glad I found complaint to confirm my fears. I hope my report saves someone from falling victim to this scam.
