Stuff like that only makes me laugh. Why would a guy in Holland want to buy a used 27" television from Salt Lake City, Utah, and have it shipped all the way over there??? If I were in the market for a used television, I highly doubt I would start looking in the Holland classifieds for a good deal. I mean, televisions are everywhere, why would he have to buy one half the way around the world?

Sucks that you couldn't plug it in either, seeing that they have a different plug system then we do.

I received an email like that when I had a Generator for sale on KSL also. Yep, Scam- delete it.
It's funny that whoever is involved in that scam targets KSL adds- I guess they think we are all a bunch of guppies.

Total scam. I'd play it out though. I did, it's fun.

You'd be surprised how many gullible people around here fall for this scam.
