Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forums but just from browsing through, it looks as through this community is very helpful in giving straight forward answer to each other. I was wondering if anybody has heard of a payment method called TNT (third party)? I tried searching the forum for "TNT" but I come up with no results and when I google "TNT" I get dynamite. I'm considering a buy from this one supplier but he has requested that we use TNT? This is how he has described the process:

1) First you have to send me your shipping informations (your order, full name and address).
2) I go to the TNT store and leave the merchandise onto your name and with your address as the intended receiver .
3) TNT cheks the xBox`s, also the legal papers to see that everything is OK with it .
4) TNT sends you a delivery notification to let you know they have the merchandise , that all is in order with it and that the merchandise is packaged and ready to be delivered to you .
5) At this point you will have to go to a Western Union office and make a money deposit on my name and address with the amount that we agreed .
6) After you make the deposit you will send all the informations linked to it - MTCN , sender's name and address to TNT .
7) TNT will verify the payment informations and if everything is ok they will deliver the package to you .
8) After you receive the merchandise , check it and see if all is ok with your order, then you will instruct TNT to send me the informations about the money deposit and I will be able to receive the funds .

Can anyone tell me if this payment method is legit? Can I trust this TNT? Anyone use it before?

This is a known scam, and TNT, a legit company, does NOT offer it.

where exactly does the scam occur? Does the guy send me a notification pretending to be TNT?

I asked the seller to explain himself and he told me he can prove it by this http link

http://tnt-online-delivery.com/overs...s/details.html

That link seems a little fishy. It doesn't seem like the same TNT website.

BUYERS BEWARE of sellers that try to convince you to use TNT with that website link above. It's a scam.

Run away from the deal....

Its a poor attempt at a site hijack, if in doubt ask the real TNT customer service team.
