Sandy decided it was time to sell her 2019 laptop and get a new one. However, she had to sell her current laptop so she could afford to buy a new one.
Sandy placed an ad on local online marketplace (similar to Kijiji or Craig's List) as follows
November 1, 2021
Used laptop for Sale!
Selling my 2019 laptop. Good Condition. Small scratches on the keyboard.
Price: $200
This offer expires in 14 days
To accept this offer please send $200 via interact e-transfer (online banking). The email address is s..y@gmail.com
The next day, November 2, Sandy's friend, Caleb saw the advertisement and sent her Facebook message saying "I saw your ad and I'd like to buy your laptop for $180. Let me know how you want to be paid."
November 4, Michael saw the ad and send an email to s..y@gmail.com saying he would like to buy the laptop and asked if he could break the $200 into 4 payments over 2 months.
November 4, Paul saw the ad and send an email to transfer the money via interact e-transfer (online banking) and used the email address s..y@gmail.com.
Unfortunately, Sandy never saw the notification email from her bank because it went into her Spam folder. Sandy forgot her password for her online banking account and did not check her bank account's transactions.
November 6, Sandy changed her mind about getting a new laptop and removed the listing for her laptop. She changed the wording to say "offer has been revoked"
November 7, Sandy emailed Caleb and Michael and told them that she was no longer selling her laptop.
