I found a Philips 42PFL7403D/F7 LCD TV for sale on Craigslist. So this Arianna Wilcox sends me an email saying that she had to relocate to the UK and she is trying to get rid of her TV because she can't use an NTSC TV there. So she quotes me $300.00. Then she said to be on the safe side she found this service called TNT and says they send merchandise to eliminate internet fraud. Then TNT emails me showing me how legit they are and that they check the merchandise themselves and everything is in top condition (they send pictures and everything!) Next they tell me to send money through Western Union being sure to use "Money In Minutes" option. The money is sent to an agent (Randy Clancey) at TNT. When they receive the payment, that is when they deliver your goods. When I receive my goods then I am supposed to give the OK for them to give the payment to the seller.
After sending the money through Western Union I am told to email a copy of my receipt / transfer confirmation paper to: [email protected]. They sent me an email saying that they received the confirmation and they will notify me within 12 hours when my goods will be shipped out. After 4 days I emailed TNT and Arianna to see what was going on. I got no response from both of them. That's when I realized I was scammed!
