Isn't this fraud???

I have seen following post (classified) and contacted the number to buy the items, I have been told to send the email with desire item description. In reply of my mail I have been asked to send the complete shipping address which I have done. Then after I have received another mail to send the money thru the Western Union Money Transfer then my eyebrows raised, so I called back to the classified poster who is a female, she said she won’t be responsible for anything about dealing…how come then why she put her number and post the classified in Qatar Living?
Be aware guys seem the fraud has been moving one step further even with local number…

You are right in saying, this is clearly an act of fraudulent activity and stay away, by sending money via western union you can almost kiss your money good bye.

For classified, normally the buyer needs to inspect the goods first and then handover their hard earned cash!

Hope that helps you.
