Craigslist scammer-lets have some fun!
Does this e-mail sound suspicious to anyone else? Im gonna see if he will actually send me the check. Then I can use my resources to see if it is a real check or not and report him for mail fraud.
Hello,
Thanks for your mail and i will like to affirm that i am really interested in your items and will like to inform you that my only mode of paying you is by mailing you certified bank check and if you are ok with that... you can get back to me with your home address.. Payee name that will be on check and a valid phone number ( no voice mail number) ... and as soon as you receive the check and i will now send my shipper for the pickup of the item asap....
thanks

Rule of thumb is if they call the parts you're selling 'items' instead of stating the specific part usually means its a scam. Theses scammers usually send these emails in mass to try to get as many suckers as possible. It's sad but a lot of people actually fall for these (a girlfriend of mine sent a laptop out).. atleast you know better
