Hello,

The laptop is still available and I hope you are still interested. My name is Amy and I am now in Manchester, U.K.
This machine is 10 Months old and it has been used for professional needs, it is in great condition and runs perfectly, and beyond evidence of normal use the laptop is in perfect shape. Other than a small area of light scratches on the underside and the normal finger stains that can be removed with a damp rag, this MacBook is MINT!!!
The AppleCare warranty is good until November 19th, 2008 and it is fully transferable.
One more thing, the laptop is an US version and it works on US voltage so you do not need a converter.
I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail so20you can see the condition of the laptop.
Please get back to me and let me know if you like the laptop if you’re really interested in buying it.

Thanks,
Amy

Hello
I would need your name and address to start the process. Here is the exact link where the procedure is explained:

http://www.airexpress-dhlpost.com/en_uk/webship.high.html

I will also try to explain everything.
First I go to DHL with the laptop and start the delivery procedure.
After I give them the laptop for you, DHL will send you a notification to let you know the process has been initiated, and that they have the laptop for you and also the complete specifications of the laptop.
Also, in the notification they will send you clear instructions on how to make the payment to DHL, to the DHL agent’s name.
After you complete your payment, then you will notify DHL, they will collect the payment and once they have your payment, then they will deliver the laptop to you in 2 days time.
After you receive the laptop you will test them to see if they are as I said.
Once you receive the laptop you will have 5 days to test the laptop and if you are 100% satisfied you will keep it and at this poing notify DHL that you are keeping the computer and that they can send me the money.
In the event that you do not like the laptop you will notify DHL you are not keeping the laptop and at this point the DHL people will come to your address and pick up the machine and give you a full refund of your money.
So it is simple, I would say.
If you agree to these terms, send me your name and address and I will go to DHL with the laptop and start the delivery procedure.
Please let me know soon
Cheers

Amy

OH WHAT A WASTE OF TIME! AND TO THINK THAT IVE BEEN EYEING THIS MACBOOK FOR A WEEK NOW!!!!! DANG!

“Amy” (probably some terrorist in the UK) just acquired 200 pounds to buy some weapons. Great.

I may have actually fallen for it had they emailed me with the same price that was posted on craigslist!

Hello,

My name is Amy and I am now in Manchester, United Kingdom.
The laptop is still available and I hope you are still interested.
This Macbook Pro was ordered brand new directly from Apple on March 8, 2008. The laptop works perfectly and it has never had any problems. Included in the $720 price is everything (right down to the original box that FedEx shipped it in) with the order from Apple (manual, cleaning cloth, etc). The laptop has almost 3 years AppleCare coverage until March 2011.
One important thing is that the laptop is a US version so the software is for the US and also it doesn’t need a power converter.
I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail so you can see the condition of the laptop, and I hope we can work out a deal.
Just to make sure we are on the same page, I am selling the 15″ MacBook Pro, with 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 Gb memory, 200 Gb HD for $720 USD.
Please get back to me and let me know if you like the laptop and if you are interested in buying it.

Thanks,
Amy

Oh, and now they use Royal Mail Third Party Delivery. The URL they send is registered to someone in Columbus, OH.

Hi

Don’t worry, shipping is on me. My company uses TNT a lot and we have lower rates. So I will only pay $25 for the shipping.
TNT knows how to ship fragile items but I will ship the TV insured just in case.
I will sell you the TV for $330 with everything in the pictures included, I will use 2 day delivery and allow you 5 days to inspect it. Shipping is on me. Your total price will be the $330 for the TV + a fee ($30) for sending the money to TNT. So, do we have a deal? At this point I need your name and address to start the deal.

Best,

Hi

Sorry for the delay.
I never had any kind of problems with it.
Yes I have the receipt.
Did you read TNT’s procedure on their website? It is explained there how their service works. Let me know after you read their procedure so I can be certain that we are on the same page

In all the links, they do include TNT’s name to establish the TRUST.

Careful!!

Here is the email:

Hello
I still have the laptop. The laptop was set up for the US, it is 3 months old and it comes with 9 months of warranty.
I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail. I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
Since I can’t meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that:
http://www.tnt.com/tnt.express.wolverhampton.depot.overseas.transactions/details.html
TNT is a worldwide delivery company (like Fedex, DHL or UPS). You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the laptop before I receive the payment. If you are in a hurry, I will use 2 day delivery (shipping is on me).Let me know what you think.
Best,
Susan

for example, I got this email from one person I responded too:

Hello,

My name is Lucya Markio and I am now in London, United Kingdom (I was sent here wih my work).
I made an order for new furniture here in UK use and I need the money from this sale to pay it.
We can close a deal ASAP.
Obviously we need a way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after.
I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the item in less than 2 days, if you move fast as well. The solution is provided by UPS, which will handle the payment and delivery of the item.
I have found a procedure that will allow you to pay for the item only after you will receive it and through this way you will see it and test it before I receive my payment.
You c an visit www.ups.com for more information. I’m sure you’ve heard about them, I worked with them many times.
Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the item right away.

I will explain to you step by step how this will work:

1) First, you will have to send me your full name and address. I will need them for the shipping.
2) I go to UPS and leave the item onto your name as the intended receiver.
3) UPS will check the item to see if everything is OK with it and also the legal papers that will come along with the item .
4) UPS will send you a delivery notification to let you know they have the item , in which you will be told that they have the item and that they checked it.
5) At this point you will have to go to a Western Union Agent Location and the money deposit on the UPS payment agent name for the amount we agreed.
6) After you make the deposit you will have to send the info about the money deposit to UPS (MTCN, sender’s name and address)
7) UPS will verify the payment informations and if everything is in order they will deliver the item to you .
After you receive the item you will have a 5 days inspection period to check it and see that all is in order. If you decide to keep it, you will instruct UPS to release the funds to me. If you decide not to keep it, you can send it back free of charge and they will fully refund you the same day.
I will pay UPS for the shipping and you will pay Western Union for the Money Transfer fee .

Let me know if we can do this.

Thank you, Lucya

It looks legit, but the whole deal with the Western Union Transfer is probably a scam, so basically, just always be wary if the seeler is not local.
