I inquired about a new iMac on craigslist for $600. I got a reply from "Emily Bollinger." She sent pics of the computer, and then suggested a company to send it from Vancouver to California... MyParcelDelivery. The process is that she ships out the computer, I send the money via Western Union, myParcelDelivery acts as a third party to hold the money, then when I OK the product after deliver and inspection, they release the money back to her. After I received an email verifying the shipment of the computer, I tried to track it, but received "No Match Found." That's when I started to google reviews about this company. (I had done this before, but googled "myParcelDelivery." This time, i googled "Vancouver myParcelDelivery.") I then came across this website. Too little, too late. I'm out $600.
Looking at past reviews, she uses the same choice of words in her emails:
"I have the imac with me in Vancouver.
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 myParcelDelivery 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 myParcelDelivery 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 myParcelDelivery will deliver the imac to you, receive your payment and I will receive the payment for the imac only after you instruct them to do so.
I will pay the shipping.
Let me know if we can proceed.
Thanks."
I'll try to email myParcelDelivery tomorrow to try to get a refund, but it's highly unlikely that it'll happen
