I have to agree: if it was an "innocent" third party, I imagine they would have offered to just ship the laptop back. S&H certainly can't cost more than a new hard drive. Clearly, this person wants to keep the laptop, and it seems they think the laptop can be sold for more than enough to cover the cost of sending your stuff back.
That said, this person isn't that smart... They could just offer to use Dropbox.
- gojomo 16y agoIt could still be someone who wanted a cheap laptop, and won't give it back now that they paid a thief for it, but wants to mitigate the harm to the original owner. (I agree with lionhearted it might be the original thief extending the scam but wouldn't rule out a 3rd party.)
