Real offer on Craigslist?
I am selling my laptop on Craiglists and I have gotten some reply back. There is this one women who replied back to me. I am not sure what to think. I still feel like its a scam though, but thought i ask anyhows. So at first she asked me if it was on sale still and if she could paypal. I said no because I wanted to ensure I got the money so I wouldn't get scammed. Now she writes this. Im not going to do it since it seems to be aiming for my personal information. Re: *Mint* HP Pavilion DV5T Notebook $1100 - $1100 (santa rosa) Hello, How are you and the family doing today? I'm glad you wrote back, I am Lucy Jones, I live in 4191 Convair Road , El Paso. TX { Not too far from International Airport}. I'm very much interested in this, but before we totally proceed i want you to know my method of payment first, because I would not like any confusion here, am getting this for my grand son. I would be making payment using United States Postal Service money order beacuse of all the errors made by other online payment methods..I'm willing to pay $1200 for this. I will handle the shipping effectively through DHL. I am pleased with the price, mean while I'm adding a little more to the price so as to keep other buyers away from them and also get off the Ad on craigslist site where it is placed. I would be glad if I can get this for my grandson as I have promised him this and I would love to fufill my promise..I would also appreciate it if I could get the pictures in your next mail....Please get back to me with you full name, address, phone number and you email address so as to go ahead and make the payment..I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible Lucy If I really wanted to make this work. think putting it on Amazon or Ebay would be better. Ive never sold stuff online so I am unsure what to do

Pretty poorly worded for a native English speaker. "Lucy" is probably a guy in West Africa. Looks like a SCAM to me.

This is a common scam on craigslist. You should be firm that the only way you will sell your laptop (or anything else on craigslist) is that someone hands you cash (dollar bills, not a check or a money order or something) and you hand them the laptop, all in person. Nothing goes through the mail, and the only payment you accept is cold hard cash. If you have trouble selling it locally, then you could post it on ebay if you are already a registered user and you understand how ebay works.

Don't do it. Most likely the "money order" will be fake and you will be out $1,200. If you read the warnings given on craigslist, you will see that anyone offering to pay MORE than you are asking is 99.999999% likely to be a scammer. Deal locally; deal in cash. Good luck.

It's a fake! I have read about these scams and more at http://www.howtobeatcraigslist.uni.cc seems like most people on Craigslist are scammers. I wouldn't mess with that place.

What happens to your puppies when you sell them, and don't care who to...?

I HOPE THIS HELPS AT LEAST ONE PERSON TO UNDERSTAND AND TO STOP! HOLT - A man accused of abusing nearly 60 animals in Holt has been transferred to Okaloosa County where he will make his first court appearance. Robert Money is charged with 32 felony and 25 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty. He was arrested Wednesday in Santa Rosa County on an unrelated violation of probation charge. Earlier this month, Okaloosa deputies responded to a complaint at Money's home and found what animal control officers describe as one of the worst cases of animal abuse they had ever seen. Eleven hogs, 17 chickens and four dogs were found dead, apparently from starvation. Another 25 animals were near death. None had food or water. The county health department, road department and deputies are still cleaning up the property. Money is scheduled to appear in court in Crestview on August 29th.

Well, that's sad. I hope that helps some animals somewhere. I don't get people like that. What on earth are they thinking?

I wouldn't sell my dog's puppies to anyone. I would make sure to the best of my ability that they were going to a loving family. But How do I know that for sure........................

We always check out the people we sell our Setters too. Most of them are bird hunters anyway, and we can tell how serious they are about the breed. We use a questionaire for them to fill out when they want to reserve a puppy. I wish everybody did that.

that's terrible i hope they stick it to him GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

its very irrasponsible when a dog owner gives a person one of their pets and doesnt look into who is receiving them, i have two orphan kittens and i need to find homes for them and i worry about their new home.i cant afford them cause i already have 2 dogs and one cat. people who are irresponsible with animails should not be allowed to own pets and people who give animals to irresponsible people should be found guilty of a crime also..
8 :
How do I know how the new owners treat my babies after the sale..........Well it could be because I am constantly emailing the new owners and calling them. I hate to think I may be a pest, but the prospective buyer is warned about that fault well in advance!!! I never loose a puppy, the puppy gains an additional mommy and daddy. And that is not a load of crap, just email anyone that has any of my puppies. I am a very small time breeder, and I usually have a waiting list due to the fact I have so few puppies per year. That also allows me the ability to keep such extended contact with the new owners, and I answer questions about my babies 24/7.......for life.

Greyhound bus made a mistake and won't correct it. How do I get it corrected?
Greyhound bus made a mistake and won't correct it. How do I get it corrected?
On September 26, 2009, I ordered a ticket from Greenville, NC to Santa Rosa, CA. After I was done, I received a ticket from Greenville, SC to Santa Rosa, CA. I checked my entry history and it even said Greenville, NC. Now, after many calls and emails, Greyhound has refused to give me a refund or to change the city (if I change it myself, it will cost me about 69 dollars more in addition to credit card charges for overdrawing and I can't refund it because it is a non-refundable ticket). Now my question is this: Is there any way to get my money back or convince them to correct it. It was their mistake and now I have a useless ticket and the only option that greyhound offered is to pay extra. Which means that if they make another mistake, I'd have to do it again, making more money for them and putting me deep into debt. Has anyone had prior experience to this sort of thing? I even submitted a complaint to BBB today. On September 26, 2009, I ordered a ticket from Greenville, NC to Santa Rosa, CA.

What I meant by ticket is the itinerary that you get. They won't even give the ticket unless I am in South Carolina-an entire state over. I called them via the phone from their site and email. They refused to do anything and even blamed me for causing the problem. I asked my bank and they said that without a receipt, I can't prove anything so they can't do anything about it, that Greyhound already has the money and I have to resolve this dispute with them.

checked my entry history and print it out show them the ticket and they can look it up as well and check just like you did depends on who you talk with is always someone above them non-refundable ticket its not what you wanted to pay for wasnt what you ordered Greyhound bus link call and complain
2 :
have you GONE INTO a station? and asked? perhaps you could still use the ticket from Greenville,NC they probaly would just rewrite the ticket but they got to SEE IT first by the way did you know greyhound is the worst way to travel but i think you are alreadying ffiguriong that out. too bad you didnt go to the station in greenville to buy the ticket in the first place!

First, call your credit card company and request a charge-back. Simply explain that the service you ordered was not delivered as promised. Your credit card company will then ask you to send in a written request for a chargeback. Just send in a one-paragraph explanation stating what you wrote here. Include a print-out of the itinerary, a list of people you called and dates/times. Greyhound "delivered" the wrong service and you don't have to pay for it. Second, buy a new ticket from Greenville, NC to Santa Rosa, CA. Go to a bus station if you can, or call 1.800.231.2222 and buy your ticket over the phone if you can. Clearly there was a problem with the on-line service. By your message I guess buying a new ticket might put you over your credit card limit. Don't worry. When the bill comes in just call the credit card company; explain that you requested a chargeback for the original ticket and that it was the purchase of a new ticket that put you over the limit. Ask them to reverse the overdraft charges. They will. Don't bother calling or writing to Greyhound anymore, they do not care about you but you bought your ticket with a credit card so you are protected.
