    Default Craigslist Scams

    Was trying to post some stuff on Craigslist right and I get this stupid scammer that sent me the below email. Talk about your classic case of scam.

    The 1st email was received from [email protected]
    Then the 2nd email was received from a [email protected]

    with the below comment

    Hello,

    Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with
    the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase and my
    form of payment will be by sending you Check next day delivery.

    I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the pick up money will be
    included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable pick up company
    to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after
    check has been cashed,as i have other properties to be moved alongside
    with yours.

    I would have really love to come for the viewing but due to my work
    frame that might not be possible,but if you have the pics,might want
    to have a good look. Please do get back to me with your full name and
    address including your cell and land number so i can make out payment.

    Regards

    Rich

    How many of you guys/gals post on Craigslist then receive an email titled "Potential Buyer" and then when you reply to it you get the above or similar?

    Thought I let people know so they don't get scammed.
