Lindsey Hines / ParcelForce
Consumer Report

Below is what I was getting from this person for a Christmas gift but looks like I got scammed. So please people be careful and do some research before you do this. I was in a hurry. I had a bad feeling about this and I should of went with my gut and I would not be out any money. So many scams out there I want you to be careful. I received other emails that looked real from ParcelForce too. I have put as much information as possible in this, in the hopes of helping someone else not go though this. Read below on the emails that went back and forth and then I added ones from PF too.

OK, thanks for the update.

Hi Lindsey,
I just returned back to my office after sending the money. So I am getting ready to send them the MTCN number they asked for to ParcelForce.
Thank you.

Hi Lindsey,
Thank you, I just added them to my email address book so I should not miss it. Which address did you use? Once I get it from them and I hope it will be today then I will go and have it paid right away. Thank you very much.

Hi Veronika,

I sent the ipad earlier today. The Parcel Force clerk said that they will inspect the ipad and then send you the invoice.

Hi Lindsey,

Since I will be leaving on Friday and if you can have it delivered then. But if it does ask for a signature then Strong Street and a lady at my office can sign for it. All I need now is how to go about paying for the IPAD. Thanks. Veronika

Hi Veronika,

I will return home in 16 months so that is not an option.
I was checking for a way to make the exchange from here to you in the US and I came across this option, which is a very good way to make this exchange.
It's provide by a company called Parcel Force and it will help us with this transaction.
They seem designed specifically for internet transactions, they handle both the payment and delivery part of this transaction. They seem pretty nice and trustworthy and they provide a service that we can use for our exchange.
The link below is from the Parcel Force website and it explains their procedure. Please check the link and the procedure and let me know if you agree to the terms.

With this procedure Parcel Force will deliver the ipad to you, receive your payment and I will receive the payment for the ipad only after you instruct them to do so.
I will pay the shipping.
Let me know if we can proceed.
I would appreciate if you could give me an answer as soon as you can because I'm going away on vacation until next year.

Thanks.

Hi Lindsey,

So you are in Canada. How do you want to do this? The Ipad is also WI-FI correct? Do you have to buy the service for the 3G or can it just run on the WI-FI? Please let me know how you would like to do this. Are you coming back to Denver. Thanks Veronika

Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the 64GB 3G iPad2 from Craigslist

My name is Lindsey and I am now in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The ipad is still available and I hope you are still interested.
I am selling the ipad for $300 USD. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
About the ipad I can say it's in perfect shape.included in the $300 price is everything that came with the ipad as new and also the warranty papers.
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. So what do you think? Do you want my ipad?

Thanks,
Lindsey
