Hi,
we will like you to know that we are interested in buying your item you offered for sale and will be paying you before the week runs out.

Please let us know its present condition,its ownership status and final price and will like you to know we will be paying via check drawn from a us bank
If our mode of payment is okay by you will like you to get back to us with the following information below so my client can have check issued to you as soon as possible about shipping

Dont worry about it have a good and reliable shipper who will come for pick up once you receive payment

FULL NAME...
HOME ADDRESS..
CITY...
ZIP CODE...
STATE..
TEL NUMBER

These kind of responses when you are selling items in CL are all scams. Sellers beware.

Hello,i came across your ad posted at craigslist......i have been looking for it for a while now,well it suits whats i really want....,well i will like to know the present condition of the item.... and will also like to know weather you still have it for sale?....and also want to know the mode of payment that suits you.........,
But will prefer making payment via bank certified check and the item will not be picked up from you until the check clears the bank will be adding extra $50 if you consdier it sold to me and as for the shipping i will make necessary arrangement on how it is going to be picked up from you as soon as the transaction must have been concluded.if okay by you mail me asap with your payment information's so that the payment can be mailed out to you asap..information's like
FULL NAME,ADDRESS,CITY,STATE,ZIP CODE,COUNTRY..PHONE NUMBER...
Hope to read from you asap...

Why are they all using Gmail to scam from? Can't Google track them down?

Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.
