To be honest, I replied to this very ad under the assumption that it was fraudulent. Had some time, and thought I'd give scammer-baiting a try. I didn't get very far though, as I asked if the receipt would be included and/or if the serial number could be sent to me for verification. Never heard back.
The whole "I'm out of the country but the product is with a {trusted person/warehouse/shipping company} just send the money to {this other person} and then {fictional process here} you get your product absolutely guaranteed." is a well known scam.
The name and address of the outfit that 'holds' the {nonexistent} goods will vary. Sometimes it is a freshly made fake website, sometimes it uses a legitimate freight company name (TNT Mailfast is one example) but promises escrow type services that the company does not offer.
Google Paysafe.com among many others for exactly this same method
It's worth repeating. Do not respond to any local classified advertising from someone outside your local area. If they are not available to do a face to face transaction in a public location, then 99.9% they are a scam. There is NO reason for someone out of the country to be selling on your local Craigslist.
If you are looking at high end, desirable goods like Apple computers, and they are steeply discounted, it is a scam.
If the seller proposes a specific payment and shipping process to make the transaction safe, then it is a scam.
If the seller proposes escrow, then YOU get to choose the escrow service (and research first) never accept the seller's choice of escrow.
Lastly: Report them, don't bait them. You never know when the game will change from fraudulent selling to identity theft, harassment, email account/paypal account hijack, or something else. Why give someone you strongly suspect is a criminal, any contact with you at all?

Kijiji is a cesspool of scammers and ripoff artists.

tptptptpI use Kijiji. Sold a few comps on it and bought a few things. It's not bad if you stick with your local area. The toronto one is probably bad but the St. Catharines one is pretty good. But anyway..
Do they even do anything? I was scammed a few years ago (the thread is probably on here still), but I never pursued any further action because I assumed it was just gonna be me giving the details of it and them giving me a "thanks, we'll look into it" or something like that.The OPP/RCMP reporting address for phone mail and internet fraud for Canada is [email protected]
