    do you think this is a scam ?

    A guy is selling a 7 grand camera for $650 dollars, I wrote him and asked why so cheap. This was his answer your thoughts?

    Hi
    My name is Chris and I live in TX.The item is new with 12 months
    international warranty( with all standard accessories ) . It is an unwanted gift, bought for my
    birthday and I want to sell it asap!
    Here is how I want to go about delivery and payment for the product which will be through TNT and
    will also give you the chance to inspect the product before I receive the payment for.
    I will explain to you step by step how this will work.
    A. First you have to send me your shipping information (your name and address).
    1. After I have received your shipping info, I'll go to a TNT Location and I will leave the
    product onto your name and address as the intended receiver.
    2. TNT will check it to see that the unit was placed with all the papers and to see that is
    legal.
    B. You will receive a notification from TNT as a confirmation that the product is in their custody
    and also, that the product has been tested.
    1.TNT will send you an invoice, and if everything is in order, they will deliver the product to
    your door step.
    2. After you will receive the product and you will be completely satisfied with it, you will
    instruct TNT to release the payment information to me, so I can collect my money.
    C. If by any reason, you will not be satisfied with the product, you will return the product to
    TNT with no expenses.
    I will pay for the shipping and you will acquit the fee for the transferred amount .
    Let me know if we can do this!
    Thanks

                              Exactly.

                              If they're a reputable escrow company or something similar, then you're not at risk. You're just getting an insane deal. Otherwise, I would say scam.

                                  Scam. Stay away from it. Pimp you with a fake escrow company.

                                          The fake TNT escrow company will send you an invoice, You pay it and you never hear from anyone again.

                                          TNT Escrow is an old Ebay scam

                                              Seems like something he has done on others. The email is long and one that maybe he has sent many people for various items. He also seems like an expert scammer, no one goes into all that hassel of TNT bullshit if they are looking to sell it ASAP (as he says at the start)...I say don't take the risk unless you don't care about loosing$650.

                                                          What difference would that make? Some scammers are great on the phone.

Card Scammers would probably have tons of shady mates to sell a $7k camera to for $650 - saddo email scammers probably dont.

                                                                                                              Either way, i think most people agree that its a crock of shit.

I bought a slightly used Nikon N70 Digital Camera on Craigs List last week for $75. It was from a college kid that was selling a ton of shit to get vacation money. I don't think he had a clue as to the value.

                                                                                                                                                                      The fraudulent communication typically concerns an unknown third-party request for advance wire transfer of money to Western Union to pay for goods ordered on the internet, before the goods will be allegedly shipped by TNT.

                                                                                                                                                                      We advise all customers to beware of such requests for advance on-line payments, and that the existence of a consignment number (or tracking number) is not necessarily proof that a consignment is in the custody or control of TNT.

                                                                                                                                                                      If you are in any doubt as to the authenticity of any TNT communication or whether TNT is in fact delivering a shipment intended for you, please contact us through the details listed on your country TNT web site.
