Samsung SP-P4251 42" EDTV Plasma Television with Built-in Speakers

A word to the wise, I have been going crazy trying to find a plasma TV at a super low price. I mean who does not want a really great deal? Along the way I have learned quite a bit. Many on line sellers, some right here on Amazon, are scammers. They usually have a comment about contacting them prior to ordering. This should be your first clue that something is wrong. Once you email them they give you some line about you paying outside of Amazon for one reason or another. I have had them wanting me to send payment by moneygram, western union, even bank transfer from my bank account directly to theirs. Only after receipt of payment is verified will they send the package. I sure hope none of you will fall for this.

I have even had one seller offer to go through a third party named Square Trade. A quick google showed the company to be quite legit. After agreeing to use Square Trade, I received an offical looking email (using Square Trades logo, and a spoofed Square Trade email address) instructing me to send a money gram to an indiviual in Romania. I might just have well put cash in an envelope. I have turned these individuals into Amazon, Square Trade ( who was aware of the situation) and have now started notifying the email hosts that their service is being used as part of the scam. If an escrow service is offered trust none except escrow.com as the rest are ripoff site as well. NO I was not a victim but I hope none of you become one either. NEVER PAY FOR ANY TRANSACTION OUTSIDE OF AMAZON IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE PROTECTED.
