The Bait:
SONY FLAT PANEL 46" TV LCD, model kdl46w5100. This TV is only 4 months old.
Sony top quality LCD TV in very good condition. Comes complete in its original box with manuals. An excellent product!
She (?) even has pictures. Moved from US to UK, recommends a fake shipping company (TNT Overseas Transactions) that will ship the TV quickly. She offers to pay the shipping. She is posing as an employee of a moving ('removal' in UK) company, and claims to have a professional relationship with them.
This is a scam! Shipping a fragile 60 Lb television from England to the US requires duty payments and insurance and costs upward of $800. Check UPS's website estimator for free.
The website she refers you to is:
This is a fake company that is not related to the real TNT shipping company. They have even setup their fake domain name to forward to the real tnt.com company website if you just enter the portion of the link. This adds to their appearance of legitimacy. Don't fall for it; it is very easy to do.
