Hello ________
Thanks so for the anticipating patronage. Yes we have the Samsung Omnia. Its brand new works with any network, authentic in the original box and comes with complete accessories.its also fully unlocked and can work with any sim.comes with 90days return policy and a year international warranty.
Shipment takes 2 days via FedEx/Dhl while payment is via Western Union.
How many units do you want to buy? are you also buying it today? If yes send me your full name shippig address and contact cell#. offer you 100% guarantee on delivery.
Considering the fact of safety , i can give you a guarantee on Western Union if only i can trust you, all you do is to make the payment to a different name entirely via western union but to the UK, so it can be confirmed on Western union UK portal that it was sent to the UK.
And after delivery and inspection of the Samsung Omnia , you go to the bank and change the receivers name back to my name , western union will not give me money if i don't have an international passport with my name and with the correct receivers name on my international passport or a valid identity card.
All i just need from you is the MTCN# and Senders Name so i can confirm it online at www.westernunion.com, then ship and get back to you with the tracking number but i need to have your words that you will definitely change it back as soon as you have your Samsung Omnia so i will not loose the money and the Samsung Omnia too as well, so get back to me if that is fine and i think way is more safer for me and you okay.

I await your soonest response.Note: A valid tracking # will be issued upon shipment.
Best Regards.

This is what the Seller (Poster) received after responding to the above enquiry.
Hello,
Thanks for the response............I think my spirit feels secured
transacting with you.I am willing to pay your final asking price for the item,
i think it is fair enough....
issuance commence as soon as I receive your FULL NAMES AND MAILING ADDRESS with which payment will be made out.
Payment would be made out to you inform of Cashiers checks.... ok? The
Payment that will be issued will include the money for the sales of
your item + the shipping cost and my commission. Therefore, there will
be an excess funds on the payment. This is so because my client
insisted to make the whole payment out at once.
I would have liked to handle the payment aspect myself but I am
presently out of town handling a project hence i am requesting your
assistance.
All you just need to do is to deposit the Cashiers Checks and when the
funds clear from your bank, deduct the funds for your item. And the
excess funds you are to wire to my shipper via western union money transfer.
I would like to state clearly that this item will be shipped Abroad(UK)
and I have a shipper who I will designate to pick up the item for
shipment at the item location. So you not going to be bothered with
any shipping. all shipping duties and taxes will be handled by my
shipper when he comes around for pick.
I will be willing to entertain more of your questions that might arise.
I must mention to you that your details shall be forwarded to my
client for immediate payment.
I await your quick response and make sure you confirm to me ASAP that
you have gotten this email. I might not reply to your email
immediately because of the level of work load on me but I will surely
do later ....
Thanks for your understanding.

Scam used on all classified ad sites - in particular with all types of transportation
Hi
I'm really sorry for this late reply but I've been very busy lately and away from a computer. The car is located in St. John's . It has all the papers(complete). This was my son's car who passed away 8 months ago, it only brings me bad memories. I want this transaction to be smooth as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and I don't have much time at my disposal. The car is in perfect condition, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever, no leaks, rust free. A great car ready to be yours. It has a clear title.
The price is $11000 including shipping costs anywhere in Canada. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. Regarding payment I am aware of the Kijiji's rules and we will use Vehicle Purchase Protection Program which will hold the payment until you receive the car. If you are interested please let me know the following information:
- full name
- address for shipping
If I receive the requested information you will be informed by Kijiji during the next hours with details about your purchase.
Thank you,
