paypal scam

Here's one I got a while back, on an MSD Ignition I had listed on craigslist.

Pay attention to the incoming email addresses, and my short response. If someone can't at least give me more than 3 words, they won't get any decent response from me either.

to me


I really appreciate your response to my email. I want you to consider
it sold, pls do withdraw the advert from CL to avoid
disturbance,anyways I don't have time to come over to take a look
because of my Business but you don't need to bother yourself with the
shipment, I'll take care of that by engaging the services of a mover,
hence I'll be sending a Certified check and it will be delivered to
you via United Parcel Service (UPS), so I'll need you to provide me
with the following information to facilitate the mailing of the check.
Full name on the check.
Full Physical address to post the check
City, State and Zip Code
Home & Cell Phone to contact you.
Note that the payment will be shipped to your address via UPS NEXT
DAYAIR SERVICE and I will like you to know that you will not be
responsible for shipping i will have my mover to come over as soon as
you have cashed the check*
N.B UPS does not deliver to a P.O box addresses.Thanks
