on bargainhunter.ca, I chose MY town and out an ad in that section. I get an email concerning my ad. Some person from god knows where overseas is interested and willing to give me $1500 for my home theatre reciever.

Ok, so all sounds good, right? well, I had a bad feeling about this since the first email, but still kept in contact. This person gets a money order from USPS.com for $1500usd, I get the confirmation email that stated that I must send the package and get a tracking #. After that I would have to email them the tracking # so they can make sure that I sent the item in question.

So I check the buyer's infor on the USPS confirmation mail. I see a name, part of the credit card #, address, state etc..

So I decide to investigate further. I check with USA 411 for the name that was on the credit card that was used to buy the money order.. Hmmm.. no one by that name in Rochester, NY (the state that was given on the credit card info) or in the entire USA. ok so maybe this person is unlisted so I do some more research and look for the street that was mentioned (Fria DR in Rochester, NY)> Guess what? there is no street by that name in Rochester or anywhere in NY.

By this point I'm feeling very weary about this whole deal. I'm expected to send something I paid $2600 for without actually having gotten the money for it? Just feel safe that I will recieve my money after that I sent it? Fuck that! So I call USPS to do more research and try to confirm that this money order is legit and not a fake email that LOOKS legit. What does the retarded cu nt at USPS tell me?

"Well, I can't confirm that, but we did get 1000's of calls today concerning money orders so I can say that it's legit"

So I tell the retard "How can you say it's legit when you never asked for my name or the name of the person that made this money order? How can you just tell me that it's legit without having any info?"

So she says "all I can say is that it's real"

I say "ok, whatever" and hang up.

The buyer emails me back with the shipping documents and tells me "print 3 copies, go to your nearest fedex and ship it"

He continues by saying "I want this shipped by tomorrow"

Well, sorry to say, but I am not shipping a damn thing without knowing full fucking well that I will get my $1500. I don't trust people and I sure as hell am not gonna trust him or her.

I want to sell this thing so I could upgrade, but I sure as hell am not going to just give it away. This isn't some crappy Citizens equipment and I worked hard for it.

Not to mention that the name on the credit card is not even the same as the buyer's name. Hell, not even the same damn place. I gave this person my phone # to call me to confirm everything, but they never called so that raised another red flag.

Anyone wanna buy it? $1400 and it's your. It's like bran new (I baby my electronics lol)
