Original Craiglist's post qrhr4-3045449230@sale.craigslist.org


This is the third time I notice this scam. A Bang & Olufsen item(s), usually Beolab 8000 is for the sale at a price that is way below market. Here it was a Pair of Beolab 1, pair of Beolab 8000 and Beolab 2 for 2500 $, posted  as being located in  Montreal
I then get an email, different names and address are used every time, that always reads more of less the same, not in Montreal right now but in the UK, shipping will be handled by some company, can be trusted should pay to receive item, blablabla
Sending address and email this time, doesn't even match the actual ad:
john.mechester@gmail.com
"Hello,


Thank you for your interest in my Bang & Olufsen Beolab 8000 Mk2 Main Stereo Speakers . My asking price is $1,500.00. From the begining I want to tell you that I work for "Save The Children Foundation" and a couple of days ago I left Canada with my family and came to United Kingdom where I will stay for the next 6 months. I thought I'll sell it before I left Canada, but I couldn't. I had to take it with me because I had nowhere to leave it there.

Even if I'm here you can buy it without problems. For this I suggest we use BDES Delivery to handle this in the safest way possible. I will pay all shipping fees.

Thanks,
John"

Beware,

I ran into this a couple months ago on Craigslist here in Minneapolis Minnesota, only it was a BL5 for $2500. Got the same response. Saw the ad in New York a couple weeks later.
