She wired $300 to what she thought was TNT and stipulated that TNT would release the money to the seller when she got the laptop and confirmed that it worked. But she never received the laptop. She had wired the money to a fake TNT Web site set up by the scammer, which looked just like the real shipper's site.
Go through the deal but when they send you a fake website say 'hmm, i think thats the wrong site, TNT.com is the right one."

Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism.

On one account they stopped responding when I asked the 2nd time for her company name, phone number and company e-mail address. The other one has not responded after I told them I called TNT and asked for a location in Texas and they told me they had no idea what was I was talking about. Actually I was did call just to see if the company was legit. They are aware of the scam and are quick to warn you about it.

There is no doubt its a scam. It started as one and is ending as one. Now if you think about it, they just scammed some of your time!
