Yep little doubt these are scams. I bet if you asked for local pickup they would back away.

Subject: Re: Ketron Audya 5 Ajamsonic - Like New- Factory fresh condition - $1000 (New York)
Hello

The product is available and it is in perfect condition working great.First of all I can't make this deal face to face because I am in United Kingdom with my job. I want to continue this transaction through a 3rd part ParcelUK Delivery...I am in England and I have talked with the people from ParcelUK already.The item is at them ready for delivery and I paid for the taxes and fees already.I worked with them in the past and everything was fine..Please let me know if you want more info about the delivery process.

Thank you


Anyone ever heard of ParcelUK?

They make it seem like the product is in NY and Union Square. Which its not. Is there away to alert Craigs List to this scam?

If they were genuine they would have said Parcelforce UK http://www.parcelforce.com/ which is a reputable UK delivery company, therefore the fact they can’t even get the name right should set bells ringing.

Well I finally got a reply from the "seller" for the craigslist audya.

Hello,

Well first of all, I want to verify that you are a serious person.
I need your mobile phone number. I contact craigslist and they will send you a text message with a code ( like 4503 ),.As soon as you receive that come you must give it to me so I see that you are a serious person.
Once you do that and I see you are ok,we can make business
Interested?
Send me a message with your mobile phone number.

Thanks


I'm sure if i was to provide my cell number, my next months bill would probably be thousands of dollars on some cell phone scam from virgin islands.

Very strange, its funny if they were a serious seller why don't they give me their cell phone or home numbers.

Buyer beware!! this is why I only use Ebay for any non face to face purchaes.

Absolutley !!! I would only ever buy off Craig's list face to face. And the email sounds like it was composed abroad judging by the broken English used. Not from the NY area like it was meant to be.
