Need advice from experienced shippers *UPDATE*
Okay everyone that's ever shipped a car seat.. I posted my seat on CL.. got an offer on it, thought the person was, you know.. in the area. No.. they're apparently in LA!.. I'm in KY.. this is the email they just sent to me.
Hello,
How are you doing? . The payment has delivered today via FedEx
today. Here is the tracking #. Kindly deduct your
money with extra $80 for your running around, and get the rest of the
money which is meant for the mover sent to the mover via money gram
as soon as you receive the check . So that they will be able to come
for the pickup today. You will have to send the money to the
information below which is for the agent in charge of the pickup via
money gram
Kindly get back to me with the money gram transfer details after you
might have send the money, such as;
8 Digit Reference Number??
Sender name and address as written on the money gram receipt???
Exact amount that you send after you deduct the transfer charges???
NB: Let me know if the address you gave to me is the same address for
the pickup location?
Thanks, as i wait to read from you soon
Regards
I have NO IDEA how to do this!! I don't understand anything that they're talking about.. I'm hoping it's not a scam.. just checked the tracking number on fedex and it's definitely in KY.. I'm not doing anything until I for sure have the money. What the heck is a "money gram"??? Help!
Just wanted to thank you guys for all of your advice I reposted my stuff on craigslist the day after this happened and both of them have already sold! Now I know how to tell a scammer from a real person.. so that definitely helps!! Oh and I really didn't think someone would use my crazy title "Tommy's Gone Crazy" but everyone did! So thank you!!!
