Tomas Adam Trying to obtain money by deception using a TNT courier as the means. Initial ad was on Gumtree.com.au for a plasma television at a bargain price to entice the consumer London Internet

Advertisment was placed on gumtree.com.au for a plasma television at a 1/4 of the retail price. I emailed to se if the item was still available and it was. The seller also told me he had moved to London for a training course (within 24 hours of placing the advertisment at an Australian location. he then wanted to use TNT AS A COURIER WITH THIS EMAIL TRAIL:

No need to go through all that trouble. My brother in-law works in London. He can view the item. If working properly will pay you cash and pick up on the spot.

Do you realize the Newcastle I live in is in Australia? (not England?) Can you supply a phone number and I will call so we don't have to go through all of the back and forth on the email?

Hi there,

I want to tell you that right now i'm out of town, i'm in England, London. I was promoted to Sales Administrator and I have to take a 6 months trainning program here in UK, before I'll be back home.

The product is brand new, in the original box, with warranty.

I hope you are still interested and we can make the deal happen right away.

Let me know and i will send you more details.


Thanks
