UPS is NOT in the letter sending/verification business. They are in the package shipping business. As such the shipper PAYS the freight on the package unless the receipiant has an EXISTING account with UPS.



The ONLY notice you will receive from UPS is a "We missed you" note and anotice to reship on a certain date and/or a telephone number to have you call for delivery/pickup instructions.



Using your tracking information, ALL that has actually occured is that UPS has been notifiey (by virture of the shipper creating a shipping ticket to UPS) to EXPECT a package to be delivered to their receiving facility. NOTHING MORE. The TV is STILL in the control of the original shipper.



Apparently, you made an agreement to pay the freight (this is proper) on this item and she wants the money upfront to pay the UPS people.



Did you PAY Amy for the TV already? If so, why not remit the shipping fees too? It seems as though the TV will stay in the hands of AMY but rest assured, UPS does NOT have the tv at this time.



Ball is in your court Robert.
it's a SCAM....spam it.Is this real or a scam i was gonna by a tv off craigslist and i got amy beson saying this?
If it is a scam, they are on the money. The weight of the package listed is 70.7lbs, and the TV itself has a net weight of 66.7 lbs. To be safe, I wouldnt do it unless you can actually pick it up yourself from the person. Her english is absolutely terrible, something that is usually indicative of scammers.Is this real or a scam i was gonna by a tv off craigslist and i got amy beson saying this?
It is 100% a scam. A package in "custody"? Broken english is the first sign to look for. Another is when they address you by "sir". Check the header for IP and see where the emails are coming from, and make sure you never send any money out of your own country.
