I found a iBook laptop on Craigs List @ http://desmoines. Craigslist.org/ele/440063077.html, responded to the gal who's name is Susan Wheeler. We emailed back & forth about it and she said in one email, "Yes, I still have the laptop.
I see that you dont know how the deal will work out. Did you read TNT's procedure on their website? It is explained there how their service works. Let me know after you read their procedure so I can be certain that we are on the same page:

Susan"
The next email she said, "I have placed the laptop in TNT's custody. The guys from TNT told me that they will send the laptop to their technical department for inspection and then they will send you the delivery notification. They will also send you the instructions you need to complete your end of the deal. Please complete your end at your earliest and keep me posted.
PS I've allowed you 5 days to inspect the laptop. I hope 5 days are enough to check out the laptop.
Best
Susan"
After that, I received a 'package confirmation' email from 'TNT', followed by a 'Transaction Details - Payment Instructions' email instructing me to send the $390 Western Union to a 'Patrick Cornick'. It stated:
"Payment Instructions - Receiver of the Payment - Patrick Cornick
The payment must be made through Western Union Money Transfer to the Name of the TNT Agent who is in charge with this transaction - Patrick Cornick using the Money in Minutes Service from Western Union.
Important Note: The Payment must be made at one of Western Union's Agent Locations, in person by the Buyer. The payment must not be made using Western Union's Send Money Online Service due to the high Credit Card fraud risk. We will not confirm any payments made online.
You must go to a Western Union Agent Location and make a Money Transfer to the Name of the TNT Agent who is responsible with this transaction - Patrick Cornick.
In order to complete the Money Transfer using the Money in Minutes Service you will need the Payment Details of our TNT Agent:
Please make your Money Transfer payable to:
First Name: Patrick
Last Name: Cornick
Address: 214 Bowery Street
City: Wolverhampton
Zip (City Code): S22 1TF
Country: United Kingdom"
Once I sent them my payment confirmation email, I received a 'Payment Verification' email... All with a 'Tracking Number' & site.
Six days later and no response and no update on the tracking site, I did some research and found out I got scammed.
