Transact Parcel/Craigslist Scam Reports & Reviews (1)

- Honolulu, HI, USA

I contacted a Craigslist vendor to purchase an Iphone 8 Plus for $380. The vendor (email name: Melanie Dudley, [email protected]) said she had recently moved to Canada but knew of an escrow service that could facilitate the transaction called "Transact Parcel" (www.transactparcel.com). I agreed to try it ouy. Transact Parcel said they would get the phone from Melanie, send me the phone after I deposited $380 with Transact Parcel, hold the money in escrow, and then I could decide whether to keep the phone. I was sent an "invoice" via a Transact Parcel email ([email protected]) that instructed me that a) the phone was in their possession and in good condition and b) that I should submit payment to them via MoneyGram and then they would ship me the phone.

I was somewhat sceptical of the email I received, as it had an "@gmail.com" address. I went on the transact parcel website, found another email ("[email protected]"), and I emailed that address to ask for confirmation as to whether this gmail address belonged to the company. I received a reply stating "We confirm it's one of our email addresses." I then went through with the instructions on the invoice.

The invoice from the "@gmail.com" address told me to sent $380.00 via MoneyGram, located at the Walmart near my home address, to "Jason Misenar" in the "United Kingdom" using "Pick up -> 10 minute." All other information was left blank. I was told by the invoice that Mr. Misenar was "the transact parcel agent assigned" to my transaction. The invoice also included an indication that the shipping service was "priority international parcels, 2-day delivery," and also provided a tracking number that turns out to be fake (US7708030258CA).

I sent the money ($408 total with the MoneyGram fee). I emailed Melanie about the fee and she replied that she would take care of the fee after the transaction was completed.

Of course, I never received any phone and the TransactParcel email addresses/Melanie have ceased responding.
