Well you could always google the contact information of the bank and talk to them to see if its legitimate. Do not use the contact information in the email since it could be a fake from a scammer.

Look here:

That should be the bank's official site.

You come from spain, she from the netherlands, why would she use a bank in Switzerland?
Doesn't add up, one could just wire money from one iban mumber to another, though i can imagine both want some protection.
Just sell your pc in your own country on some second hand website and just save yourself the trouble.

I've read around on the bank's site a bit, and I couldn't find any section that tells sellers to ask for a shipment ticket.
Personally I live in Germany and this isn't common where I live either, at least from private person to private person.
For their contact number you'd have to replace the first 0 with +41 fyi, they take calls from 8 am - 6 pm CEST.
But as many said, there's no reason for a dutch person to be using a Swiss bank account, not for legit reasons.

I received 2 emails from Zurich saying that the money is being hold till I send them the shipment ticket
emails lol ... obviously a scam - cease all contact and ignore for good > a bank wouldn't contact you for
private <> private transactions, even if they did in writing / by letter that would be extremely suspicious

Here is my problem.
I want to buy a new PC but first I have to sell the one I've got. A woman from Holland contacted me and told me she was interested in it. After talking through email we came to a deal. So the next day she made a bank to bank transfer with "Zurich Cantonal Bank" but here is my problem. I received 2 emails from Zurich saying that the money is being hold till I send them the shipment ticket, and after that I will get the money. I found this quite suspicious as this is something I've never seen before,so I wrote the woman back telling that I was not going to send the computer till I see the money in my account. She wrote me saying that this was the usual way there to protect the buyer. I want to trust here but I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance
