Date:	Sun, April 23, 2006 09:08 PM

I found the above offer on Craiglist. I cannot find the ad now. However,
I emailed the advertiser and received the following web site address in
return. I have no idea whether the seller is legitimate or not, but I
thought I should post the URL:

$1.199.00 transferred for the item delivered by your door.

Once at the site, I found an ad for a the computer listed above, but
very high-end, including a double-layer DVD recorder, a 500 GB hard
drive and 2 GB RAM.

I went all the way through creating an account at the site, fully
intending to purchase the iMac. Unfortunately, when I went to pay, the
seller will only accept a wire transfer, not a credit card. I only buy
stuff online using credit cards.

Wire transfers are like cash. There is no protection from fraud. Thus
wire transfers are a popular way to defraud online purchasers.

Again, I have no idea whether the seller is legitimate or not, but I
thought the Mac community should be aware of my experience. Buyer beware.
