That is from a 3rd party seller on Amazon and if you want to be safe just stick with Amazon since they have the best customer service of any online company I have purchased from.

Might I suggest that you edit out your sensitive personal information in the post!

That's why I always buy items from third party dealers on Amazon who has PRIME next to their name only.

The first red flag which would stop me in my tracks is payment to be made by Western Union.

Amazon is great - I will buy from third party sellers at times but only if it says "sold by xxxx - fulfilled by Amazon"

I suppose you can always try reporting them via the Internet Crime Complaint Center. Since no money was lost technically no crime has been committed though.

Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home

Note:
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).

Thank you for posting. I was thinking about purchasing a fuji x100 from the same person (they were selling it for $364). Seemed a bit fishy, so I goggled the e-mail and found your post.
