Craigslist ibook response

[goosegunner]

Sent a few questions about a local craigslist post for an ibook 1.33 for $305.00. This is what I got today. You know what they say about too good to be true?

Hello


Sorry for the delay. I still have the laptop.
I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail so you can see the condition of the laptop. The laptop is an US version and it still has 30 months of apple care protection program.
My name is --------- and I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
I hope you are still interested and we can make the deal happen right away.
Obviously we need a safe 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 fast (3 days) and easy. The solution is a worldwide delivery company called TPG. TPG is similar to Fedex, DHL or UPS and they will provide assistance in hadling the payment and delivery of the laptop.
With this procedure you will be able to check the laptop before I receive the payment.
Click bellow to go to their website and see how the procedure works:

Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the laptop right away.
Let me know what you think.


Best Regards,

What's sad is that people must actually fall for this stuff and get ripped off.

LOL - That same poster had it on the Indy list a few weeks ago and I sent an email and
got the same response so I played along.

I looked up Wolverhampton on Google and found there is a University there so I decided
to do the old "I have a cousin in the area and he will pick it up"

It turns out the University has a criminal Justice program so I told her (the seller) that my cousin
was the head of the Criminal justice program and that she could meet him at the university
and that I was forwarding her email to him so he could get in touch to make arrangements

Strangely - I've yet to hear back from her : -D

Email him back and say you are good to go...
you need an iBook to replace your p-p-p-powerbook!
