She posted a very detailed listing for an Asus Zenbook for $390 on the omaha/council bluffs craigslist. I sent an email and got this reply:
My name is Jessica and I am now in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The laptop is still available and I hope you are still interested.
I am selling the laptop for $380 US. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
About the laptop I can say it's in perfect shape, as I used it only for a few weeks.included in the $380 price is everything that came with the laptop 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 laptop?
Thanks,
Jessica
I figured at this point she was trying to scam, but I kept going just to see what happens next:
Hi,
I won't come back home so soon.

With this procedure Interparcel will deliver the laptop to you, receive your payment and I will receive the payment for the laptop only after you instruct them to do so.
I will pay the shipping.
Let me know if we can proceed.
So after googling "interparcel scam" and "jessica marsh scam" I was directed here, so thanks to this site for confirming my suspicions. And I thought I would submit my complaint to help out.
