I've been receiving "odd" responses to my TV listing on Craigslist. The latest has to do with a full-on SCAM.
This person wants to purchase my TV (32" tube with stand) from Iowa and wants to have it shipped to them via Fedex. The procedure this person proposed is that they wire me the money and all I have to do is drop off the TV at the designated "shipper" and the shipping will be taken care of.
First of all, Criagslist is for LOCAL transactions, second of all, who the heck would want to have a 170lbs TV Fedexed? With the stand, it's over 200lbs!
So I politely emailed back and said this is cash transaction and direct pickup only. This person proceeds to say they don't have the money right now and is willing to wire me the money first then I can arrange for shipment.
So if you don't have the cash, what the hell are you wiring me?
Do people really go for such scams?
Does Fedexing something over 200lbs even make sense?!
