Heres the time where I got scammed, I have copied and pasted what I had sent to the government fraud reporting website:
I wanted to buy a MacBook from Craigslist and I saw someone who lived near by who was selling one, I messaged this person, Nancy Viera, and asked about the MacBook on December 4, 2015 and she had told me she went to Canada for a little while but she found a service, Right On Time, which is a third party holding/shipping company that ensures both sides of the trade was fair, she had said she brought her laptop in to one of the Right on Time stores and now that company is waiting for my money to send the MacBook. A day goes by and I get an invoice from the company Right On Time that said they are in possession of the MacBook and sent me a well detailed list and specifications of the MacBook as well as a method of payment(western union), on the invoice it said to make the money payment to an agent by the name of Andrew Popes, once I had paid the money the company emailed me back a link to their website that says my money has been confirmed and my order was going to be shipped out via FedEx Freight service, and they gave me an estimated time of arrival of December 10, 2015 at 1:00PM EDT. Once my money had been collected neither the Seller Nancy or the company Right on Time has replied to my messages nor have the item been delivered. I believe that either Nancy works along with Right on Time for the scam or there never was a Nancy to begin with. I have all emails, receipts, and website confirmation of payment required to show all the steps that have occurred.
Got scammed for Christmas this year, be careful guys
