    Default Wholy craigslist scammers batman!! (scamming a scammer)

    So i have this Alienware laptop im selling and decided to put it on CL. Now, i know there are scammers on there, but i got these 2 messages within MINUTES of posting my ad.

    Since i have a bunch of really bad computer parts here, im going to fuck with at least one of them. I'm going to end up acting like im a dumb sucker that wants to sell them this laptop for this great deal they offer. Now i know i can not accept the money and i will turn it in to the authorities.... or frame it to remind me of the fun you can have with scammers.

    Here are the messages-

    "Subject: Alienware Area51 laptop computer - $1175
