Is this another Nigerian scam or legit?

Aside from the price and the willingness of the seller to ship 2nd day for free from the UK, I think it's legit. They also included pictures, of the laptop on, off, accessories and a snapshot of the specs shown in osx, blacked out serial numbers, address on original invoice (but who knows, could be faked). It's for a MBP 15" 2.2ghz for $475, in working order.

I have gotten good deals before where I thought I was going to get mugged when I showed up. Such as a sealed 16gb ipod touch for $220 when they first came out. So not sure what to make of this. I replied and going to see if she makes me send wire money or something..

Hello

I still have the laptop.
I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail. I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that. Please go here to see the procedure:

TNT is a worldwide delivery company (like Fedex, DHL or UPS). You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the laptop before I receive the payment. If you are in a hurry, I will use 2 day delivery (shipping is on me).

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Susan
 
Tell the seller that you have a friend or relative in the UK who can come to check it out and purchase it.
 
lol scams are funny. The internet would be that much more boring without Nigeria. (yes it says uk, but most of these are from Nigeria)
 
You realize most Nigerian scams originate from the UK right? I think the UK has the second highest population of Nigerian nationals outside of Nigeria.

BTW: If you had to ask in the first place...
 
Haha, yeah, thought so. All I said to them was, I'm interested tell me how this process is going to work. I was going to sell this one to get an aluminum macbook anyways.

This is actually a Nigerian scam to try and get you to believe it's UK's fault.

There's no such thing as TNT, it's gonna be a fake website that shows your different pictures of the laptop claiming that they received it (aka fake escrow)

Play with him first! I've done this a lot of times. He's the scum of the earth, at least take up some of his time. In fact, maybe you should post the scammer's email, and we can all spam him with questions on the laptop and keep him swamped!

Vigilante ATOT effect!
