Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the 13" MacBook AIR from Craigslist

My name is Roxanne and I am now in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The MacBook is still available and I hope you are still interested.
I am selling the MacBook for US $550. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
It's 1.80 GHZ i7, has 4 GB of RAM, 384 MB of Video Memory and 256 GB SSD (works 5 times faster as a normal HD) of storage.
The MacBook was bought brand new from Apple a couple of months ago.
About the MacBook I can say it's in perfect shape, as I used it only for a few weeks.included in the $550 price is everything that came with the MacBook 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 MacBook?

Thanks,
Roxanne

Me:

Thanks for your reply,

My name is % and I was wondering why you want to sell your Macbook and also, if I do decide to buy it, how would I get it since you're in another country?

InterParcel Customer Department

There was a PDF attachment, and the email included a told me to send money to an InterParcel Agent Named: Clare Larsen

It asked me to pay through the Money in Minutes (Green) form at a Western Union and even gave me the addresses of nearby Western Union locations in order to pay the $550.

It instructed me to write these information in the form:

Payment Location: Bolton, United Kingdom
Payment Amount: $550.00 (but thankfully I didn't proceed to pay as I caught onto the scam when I searched the name "Ralph Craddock of InterParcel Customer Department")

Scammer:

I left the laptop at Interparcel and I have received the invoice, their email transaction confirmation. Have you received it?
Please keep me posted.

Roxanne.

I'm really glad that I searched the name at the bottom page of the attachment and was able to see that it was basically the same scam with yet another new website.
