Craigslist drives me nuts sometimes.

This is the third time this happened to me. Thankfully I know better now. I put something on Craigslist and I get an Email that like this one

hello,

is the item still available?

Then when I respond and tell them it is, I get a response like this one.

Thanks for the prompt response and i will love to make an instant
purchase,so please do withdraw the advert from Craigslist.I dont mind adding an extra $50 dollars for you to take the advert down from
criagslist so that i can be rest assured that am in hand of the
item.
I will also like you to know that i will be paying via check,and it
will be an over night payment due to the distance .You dont need to
bother your self with the shippment ok,I will take care of that.So
I will need you to provide me with the following information to
facilitate the mailing of the check.
1.Your full name.
2.Your mailing address,must be residential
3..Your phone number.
**Once again ,I will like you to know that you will not be
responsible for shipping.
I will have my mover come over as soon as you have cashed the check**
Do Have a nice day,

My Warmest Regards

I feel bad for all the people that actually get taken for a ride by all the scamers out there. Its happen to me and I know I'm not the smartest but I should have seen it coming. At least now I know what to look for.

Thank you for letting me vent.

Vent away! I have received them as well and hate just reading the first line or two before hitting the spam button.

The first one gets your hopes up and then about 10 min later your hope is shattered and it makes me MAD:thebirdm:. But I do have an anger issue or so my wife says. LOL
