Scammers...!
How stupid do they think we are? Everytime I post something on Craigslist locally, I get an email from somebody clear across the country wanting to buy it, wanting all my personal info so they can send me a certified check. Oh, yeah-they want to give me an extra hundred or so for my "troubles" in doing this deal with them..... Do they actually sit behind a computer all day looking for someone to screw? I wish I could invent something that would go back in an email to them with about 600 volts going to their keyboard when they open it.

I see the same thing in reverse. I reply to an ad only to be told the car is "at the shippers" and to use ebay checkout, they'll send me the car and if I don't like it I can get my money back. I'm thinking next time I'll tell them I don't have room to buy that bridge and store it at my ocean front property in the desert.
