Hello,

Just another variation of advance payment scam, this time on Canadian Kijiji site.

Did a quick search on iPad, right off the bat this offer looked fishy, so used my spare-for-suspected-scammers email address to communicate with them. Couple of emails so far, if time permits, might as well do a bit of a baiting.

Hi,
I am writing you regarding my ad on Kijiji, the iPad it's still for sale. My iPad is brand new in original sealed box and the iPad have full AppleCare Protection Plan warranty.

I'm selling at this price $535. I will not negotiate the price.

If you have other questions feel free to e-mail me.

Thank you for contacting me.

Interesting, that these days they are even using more legitimate looking email addresses, not so obviously disposable. IP originating from AOL in US, which somewhat explains relatively good English.

Anyhow, another message, after which I have not a slightest doubt that this is an attempted scam.

Hi,

I would like to tell you that I'm located in Plymouth. I got the opportunity to open a small business in Plymouth and from here the products will be shipped to you. Here is how I want to go about delivery and payment for the products which will be through DHL and will also give you the possibility to inspect the products before I receive the payment for it. I will explain you step by step how this will work.

I go with the products to them and leave the products into your name and with your address as the intended receiver.

They will contact you with a notification as a confirmation that the products is in their custody and also, the shipping and payment methods.

Then you must carry out the payment to a DHL agent, as a guarantee. The agent will hold your money untill you receive and inspect the products. After the payment, and if everything is in order, they will deliver the products to your door step.

After you will receive the products and you will be completely satisfied with it, you will instruct DHL with your decision. You have 3 days to inspect it and make a decision. If you are not agree with it, they will refund back your payment.

If by any reason, you will not be satisfied with the products, DHL will pick up the products from your address free of charge.

So, if you're interested to purchase just e-mail me with your full name, shipping address and your phone number so I can start the transaction with DHL.

Thank you and hope to hear from you asap.

Laura Kilian,


So again, keep an eye on Laura Kilian on Kijiji, Craiglist or anywhere else, their email is: laura@sigacoating.com

I received the same email (see below) from a Craigslist Post in Toronto today. It's so obvious that it is a scam. Just for fun i suggested i was also in Plymouth and suggested i'd come over and pick up the item. To my suprise she is not available. I said i'd wait....never heard back.
