Hi there,
Sorry for my late reply but I'm currently in England, Wolverhampton. 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, in States.
The laptop is still available, in perfect condition, and I will sell it only in US because here the warranty and the DellCare are US registered.
I can't use the laptop here in UK because it works on 110 V. I didn't know about this problem when I moved here and another reason why I am selling the laptop is because I have just received a new laptop as a birthday gift here in UK, so I do not think I will be using my old laptop any more. I don't have use for 2 laptops.
I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail so you can see the condition of the laptop. I bought the laptop 5 months ago and it still has 19 months of Dell transferable warranty remaining.
I hope you are still interested and we can make the deal happen right away.
Obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after.
I have found a way for us to complete the deal fast (3 days) and easy. The solution is a worldwide delivery company called TNT. TNT is similar to Fedex, DHL or UPS and they will provide assistance in hadling the payment and delivery of the laptop.
With this procedure you will be able to check the laptop before I receive the payment.
Click bellow to go to their website:
http://www.uk-tnt.com/country/en_corporate/about/express.html
Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the laptop right away.
Let me know what you think.
Best Wishes,
Jenny
=============================
but the link she gave me was not connected in office.
so I send her a mail to tell I don't want to trrade.
------------------
Hi.
Good to see your reply.
But It seems too hard to do the trade even though I still interest in.
The link of TNT you sent is unavailable.
The repond is "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at www.uk-tnt.com."
And there can be too many possibility of problems in case of damage while shipping.
I'm gonna have to find another one in here texas.
Sorry.
Have a good days in UK. --------------
a few hours later, I got the answer from her.
---------
Hello
I see that you dont know how the deal will work. Did you read TNT's procedure on their website? It is explained there how their service works. Let me know after you read their procedure so I can be certain that we are on the same page:

New link is now active but I still have some scamish-style in it.
but the cost is so wonderfult that I can't pass off.
after one days of thinking, I reply her
------------------
Hi.
Sorry for delayed reply.
Yes I've read the process how TNT-UK way works.
but are they also support international shipping? Is there a TNT office in texas?
If their way of transaction works fine in both UK and USA, I would buy yours.
Thnaks.--------------------
Hello,
Yes they support international shipping. You will receive the laptop at your door.
Ok, great. I am ready to make the deal happen right away if you are too.
The next step would be for you to send me your name and address and then I can make the delivery arrangements today.
Please send me your info soon.
Cheers
Jenny------------------------
by this mail I decide to trade this deal.
so I told her my name and address.
right after I send the letter reply was arrived at my mailbox.

Hello
Ok, we have a deal. The next step is mine.
I will go to TNT with the laptop later today, within 2 hours and make the delivery arrangements.
I will get back to you when I come back from TNT with the confirmation.
Cheers
Jenny
==================================================
I also send her for request additional verification information.
=================
hello.
just for confidence of trade, could you send me your name and address to me?
also if you can, please verify the detail specification of laptop.
Sorry for this.
but I can't help making myself prudent because this is my first international trade.
regards.====================================
next day morning I got the email from TNT.
It said that she already put the laptop at their custody and they will ship it to me as soon as they verify my payment.
The letter contains very detailed description of packages and seller's address.
TNT representative this trade as certified third party trader.
I searched local Western Union money transfer office and ready for send a money at the office while lunchtime.
But fortunately!!! google saved me.
just brefore departing from office, I googled with those word "uk tnt fraud " as final verification.
I found several internet fraud using tnt.
so I changed my mind and searched any provement that this is scam.
first, their web server was target of my inspection. I searched the address at whois.net.
It's not owned by TNT but unknown person.
also their fake TNT web site was registered in 5-30-2007.
second, I put their tracking number in official TNT site
I got the respond saying no such tracking number is exist.
most ridiculous thing is that all images in fake site are not a copied ! they are all read from official TNT site.
fraud web site
official TNT UK web site
I send a mail to her (or him).
It's the finale and I got no respond from them.
===================
j to Jenny
11:33 am (2½ hours ago)
I've got the mail from TNT.
But I have to cancel this trade.
Because all of your transaction seems to be fraud!
original tnt address is " http://www.tnt.com"
and your address of " http://uk-track-delivery.com" is not owned by the TNT but owned by WhoisProtector Inc.
"WhoisProtector Inc. was established to provide Internet domain name holders with a secure and reliable method of protecting their personal contact information."
Ha....I was almost scammed.
you don't have to reply to this mail.======================
