I recieved a notification on Craigslist about a 55 inch Sony Bravia 3D HDTV. I inquired and asked what was wrong with it and why so cheap. I was sent pics of the tv and was told the asking price wasn't cheap, but "reasonable".

I don't think that my asking price is cheap. I think it's only reasonable. I will sell you the TV for $350 with everything in the pictures included, I will use 2 day delivery and allow you 5 days to inspect it. Shipping is on me. So, do we have a deal? At this point I need your name and address to start the deal."
Unfortunately, I said we have a deal. Then I got the fake Parcelforce info.

"Hi,
I sent the TV earlier today. The Parcel Force clerk said that they will inspect the TV and then send you the invoice. Please add [email protected] to your email address book in order to guarantee the delivery of their emails to your inbox."
I sent the money via Western Union Money Transfer to the "Parcelforce Agent" by the name of Zachery Hilbert. All I recieved was an invoice via email, with an invoice number. When I tracked it through the ca-parcelforce site it said it was to be delivered December1st at 1:00 pm EDT. It never came.
I emailed the fake customer department numerous times, no response. I emailed "Lindsey Livingston" numerous times, no response.
I even emailed the legitimate Parcelforce, no luck at all. If they were even real.
So I get ripped off. Just in time for the holidays.
