Buying a camera.... fraud?
Hi everyone I just found this site.
I am a photographer and found a camera on craiglist for a pretty good deal. I sent an email and got this back.
It was originally posted in Sioux City, Iowa or St. Louis about a month ago
"Hello,
I still have the Canon gear.
My name is xxxx xxxxxxx and I am now in Liverpool, 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 Royal mail. Royal mail is similar to FedEx, DHL or UPS and they will provide
assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the Canon gear.
With this procedure you will be able to check the Canon gear before I receive the payment.
Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the Canon gear right away.
Let me know what you think.
Thank you! "
What do you guys think?
The gear I'd be paying for would normally be about 2000 USD and I'd be paying 1300 USD. He took a while to respond (about noon his time)
Thanks, Matt
