Hello
Attached you will find the pics with the laptop. I hope you will receive them this time and I hope you will like the laptop.
Like I said, I will cover the shipping fee.
I can send the laptop today and I will pay for the overnight delivery which will get you the laptop in 2 days
Things are very simple and I will help all I can to understand the procedure. Let's take this one step at the time.
The first step would be for you to send me your name and address and then I will take the next step by going to TNT with the laptop and making the delivery arrangements.
After that TNT will send you a confirmation that they have the laptop for you and they are ready to ship the laptop to you. TNT will also check the laptop and send you a full set of specifications for the laptop.
Also you will receive from TNT a set of instructions on how to complete your payment to them.
After you follow the instructions and complete your end TNT will deliver the laptop to you.
After you receive the laptop you will check it and see if it is in good condition and if the specs are as I described. If everything checks out okay you will then instruction TNT that you are keeping the laptop and that it is time for TNT to release the payment to me and the deal will be complete.
If you wish to proceed you need to take the first step and initiate the transaction by sending me your name and address and then I can make the delivery arrangements from my end.
Let me know if I can proceed

It's on the white thing towards the top left. Should be 7 digits.
I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?
If we can get a proper imaging on the barcode we can extract the number from it.
The black lines are definate lines, it's the thin black ones that you have to look for. Basically you go examining the three images carefully pixel by pixel looking for gradient patterns. If a thin black line IS present, the space will look different from if it wasn't, and that is hwo you know.
At some point, you will have ot probably create some test barcodes and test them at this same resolution to see if any of them match the patterns here.
Then, when you have the sequence you have to find the formatting for the barcode and run it through different formats to see if they produce any information.
It is possible that we can convert the serial number back into barcode format, then estimate the distance the laptop is from the camera (we can do this because we can determine the approximate size of the laptop itself from given information then use the shadows from the powersupply cable and the size of the image to determine the angle and distance), and take another picture of this barcode we make. If the barcode we made from your serial number matches the approximate pattern of the one in that picture we probably have a match, or atleast a warrant to continue further investigation with the above message.
Here's what I found:
Hope it helps.
Thanks for all the help so far. It'd be great if I could help bust this guy, even if it's not my laptop.
So, realistically, is there a way to find out where these emails are coming from?
If I could prove that they're coming from philadelphia as opposed to from England, that would help a lot
I dunno, probably drastic seeing how it could also not be yours
Police will take forever to look into this. They have bigger things to worry about.
My brother is a cop and the shrug their shoulders at a lot of things because the money and effort to fix some problems isn't worth it.
With that said, try the police anyway. But you have no real proof that it's stolen or even yours so, they probably won't pay it much attention.
Tell 'em you suspect a laptop you saw on the internet is stolen, share the e-mails and link to the auction and continue your own research? Maybe I've seen too much movies, though.
If they agree, get the cops to go with you along with proof of ownership.
Of course this solution is far too simple and they'd never agree to it.
Do this.
