SCAM SCAM SCAM
A guy tried to scam me when these scams first came out.He sent me a money order for way more than I was selling the parts for and it just seemed fishy. So I took it to the bank and had them look at it and they said it was not legit.
Just be carefull because if you do turn it in when it doesnt clear the money is taken out of your account.Since these dumbasses started this crap I only sell things on craigslist for cash and in person pickup only.

And then I dont hear back from them anymore.

why does he need your addres if he come to buy this he'll have money on hand... dude i get message like this all the time for anything its like a very generic message that they past the title every where they talk about what your selling or they just refer to it as an "item"
"i would like to buy your ITEM for sale whats your bottom dollar for the advertised 5 PIECE SOLID WOOD BEDDROM SET WITH MATTRESS FOR $600 in addition what condition is the advertised 5 PIECE SOLID WOOD BEDDROM SET WITH MATTRESS FOR $600" that one i had got copied and pasted it went on to say about a bank check, needing my email , address, phone, number, name, and how he would ave his secritary arange pickup for my "ITEM" and how he would add $1450 to the check in order for me to pay the person picking up the ITEM to ship it cause he's in the UK in the army (as if there is no furniture he could buy there or some thing, i mean the shipping is more the the furniture its self)
i think its hillarios to read it then click the next on from "someone else" and it say the exact same thing lol

lol two more scams for my borla catback i put up for sale:
Hello, i saw your advert for sale and am really interested in buying
the item. Pls get back to me with the present condition and the recent
picture of the item.
best regards
and
I am okay with the price of this item and the condition of items and we will like to make an outright purchase of this particular item immediately because we are in need of it and we want to get it as soon as possible, I anticipate that a Money Order or Certified Check will be sent to you via express mail or UPS or FedEx as the mode of payment,concerning the pickup, i will be responsible for that, where the mover will come for the pick up at your location upon your confirmation of receiving the payment and i want you to remove this item from the ad now. So i will send the payment which will include the pick up charges, in which you will make payable to the mover via Money Gramm/Western Union immediately after you have receive the payment and you will be compensated with $10 extra for your running around to the Money Gram/Western Union outlet to avoid the delay. And I would really love to come for the viewing but due to my work frame that might not be possible....and I will like you to provide the following payment information below as soon as possible;
full name ..............
full home address (physical
City................
state...............
zip code............
tel#............
As soon as this is provided i will let you know when payment is mailed out and i will update you on when you will receive the payment and give you instructions on what to do....
thanks and i hope we handle this in good faith......
