The goods don't exist. Most probably you wouldn't get anything except perhaps a receipt for a payment for a shipment that never happened.

if it looks too good to be real, keep your hands of! Esspecial if the seller is living in another country than original advertized.

There's always the possibility that someone is trying to sell off items looted in the riots, and does not want to try sell it in the UK to reduce the chance of them being spotted.

It's a scam that happens worldwide. You send the money, the item doesn't exist, and you'll never find them or get your money back.

They do this with all sorts of items, even for property rentals! You send the bond and the first months rent and they send you the keys. Problem is, someone else lives at the property!!!

I'm a Western Union agent, and I prevent money being sent for these sorts of things all the time...

Why not email the store in Manchester the serial number and they can check if it was stolen from their store during the riots/looting?

Right one.

Forget about it. It's a scam.

sounds as doggy as a a traveller offering to tarmacadem ur driveway for £200....wouldn't touch it with a bargepole....A lot of the high value items stolen in the UK riots are selling internationally, so if its not a complete swindle, you could in fact be buying stolen goods....the only way you can be sure is to ask him/her for the ID number and then call your local dealer to confirm if its legit?

still, i can see the temptation......just be strong and start saving for a new one :):):)

Thanks for your answers, they share my thoughts.

Offering the same TV for months in Germany and USA with such a low price, and location in UK, must be a fraud.
