This is (yet) another scam from TNT and Craigslist - Mac Book pro 15". The name of the person is Arianna Sonnenfeld. Below is her story as I received it in my inbox.
Hi
Yes I still have the laptop. But there is something that I didn't mention in the post.
Please bear with me on this. I am now in United Kingdom. I have been relocated here with my work several months ago. I don't need the laptop anymore so I tried to sell the laptop locally, but with no luck. I was offered silly money for the laptop because of issues like - it is a US version or the warranty doesn't work here or that it has a US keyboard format. That's why I'm trying my luck in the US.
Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I found a service that will help us with that. Click on the link below to learn more about the service:
TNT is a worldwide delivery company but it is better known here in the UK. You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the laptop before I receive the payment.in this way the both of us can be at ease. I will use 2 day delivery on my expense. Thanks,
This is a total ripoff. She want you to wire transfer monies using Western Union to a TNT agent named Charles Henin based in the UK where he will receive the monies. The TNT email says you need to send them a copy of the receipt of the transfer via email and that in 12 hours after verification of the money that the shipping process will start.
Please be aware, this is a total ripoff.
I am hoping by doing this other customers can't avoid this problem.
Thanks
