ME: Please call me if you still have this item available. Samsung 46" LED 120 Hz TV Pristine Cond!!! - $350. Source: http://nashville. Craigslist.org/ele/2115951144.html
Diane: hi,
The Samsung Led TV is still available, but I'm currently in London, United Kingdom. Because of the financial crisis, I lost my job in United States and I had to come back to my family. I don't need the TV anymore so I tried to sell it locally, but with no luck. I was offered silly money for the TV because of issues like - it is a US version or the warranty doesn't work here. That's why I'm trying my luck in the US. I hope you are still interested. The TV was bought brand new from Samsung 10 weeks ago. I have attached some pics with it to this email. About the TV I can say it is 10 weeks old and it is in good shape, no scratches, no dents as you can see from the pics I've sent.included in the $350 price is everything the TV came with when it was new, including the original manuals and warranty papers. The warranty is fully transferable to the new owner. The TV is here with me in UK. I tried to be as thorough as I could with the presentation so you can have all the info if you decide to go ahead and buy it. Please get back to me and let me know if you like the TV if you're really interested in buying it.
Thanks, Diane
ME: Dianne, still very much interested, but how would I get the tv from you? DIANE: I found a way to sell the TV that will be safe for both of us. It's a worldwide delivery company called TNT. They have a service that will allow you to test the TV before I receive my payment. Please go to the TNT website below and read their procedure so we can be on the same page:

I will pay the TNT shipping fee. If you agree to their terms please send me your name and address and I will start the delivery procedure.
Thanks, Diane
ME: I've read the terms and agreements of TNT. I must be honest with, I really would love to purchase this television. I was trying to contact you prior to the weekend before I spent my money on other things. I still have some money to spare but I didn't expect to hear from you this morning... Would you be willing to give me more time on this trade?
DIANE: Ok, I will hold the TV for you.
ME: Diane,
I pray that for every soul that may be victimized by scams and traps such as this one, will be wise and do their research. It's extremely ironic that you (word for word) presented me the same exact situation as a guy who was scammed off while using craigslist. Even the same location. I won't be surprised if i do not hear from you again and i advise you to remove your ad immedeately.By the way just so you can see the similarities, go to

"so that we are on the same page". You're dead wrong for what you're doing. And remember, if you live by the sword... You know the rest. Be blessed and do the right thing. Your life will be much more prosperous. God bless.
*needless to say, her ad has been removed from craigslist. People, do your research. If it sounds too good to be true, then it most likely isn't. Also, she refferred me to a company titled "TNT", once i followed the link that she provided, i was on a website called 'TNT INTERNATIONAL'. Reading between the lines i was able to find a scam in this situation. I really hope this post was helpful.
