Today, on craigslist, I noticed a post for a 24 inch iMac fully loaded...you know--the works. $750. So naturally, curiosity got the best of me and I had to Email this person and find out if this was legit. I got this email in return:
Hello,
My name is Sandra Cooper and I am now in London UK, the reason why I listed this ad in your local area is because a friend told me that I would get a better price and faster deal there than here in London and I am more than happy to ship it to you for free.
The item is in perfect condition barely used for a few hours so I wouldn't mind calling it brand new. Obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal without worrying about the safety of your money or my item.
The best way I could think of is to use a shipping company that will also act as an escrow service and found one with quite a good name.
I chose to use TNT WorldWide Transaction, a subsidiary of the well known(at least here in europe) TNT.
Using their services your money will be safe with them until you receive and check the product and I will rest assured that I'll get paid if you like and decide to keep the item. Also the company will provide you with 5 to 7 days to test the item and make sure you're making the right decision.
Please let me know what you think so I can explain to you the transaction steps in detail.
Thanks for your time,
Sandra.

Hello, Sandra!
I'm Soo happy to hear that you are interested in doing business with me! Though I prefer to use my own escrow Service, or Just Send you Cash! I would have absolutely no problem with sending the cash, along with some extra money for shipping of the product. Once you receive the Cash, you can feel free to send the iMac at any time! sound good to you?
Thankyou, Joe
so what say we scam the scammer? any ideas?
