If you tell them it's still available the will tell you the want it and so I send someone with a certified check to pick it up. I am sure it's a scam. They don't even know what their buying.

I played one of those scammers once. What they do is send you a fake check, you give them the goods through a third party deliverer, they get the product, then you get in big trouble when you try to deposit the check. It's very obvious (the check they sent was full of grammar mistakes and claimed to be from Geico), but apparently some people fall for it.

Cash ONLY. Don't put your cell number on the listing either. I only do email with specific instructions of what must me in the body of the email they send me.
Lots of scammers but easy to spot and weed them out.

They will also send the $ with a 3rd party that will tell you all he has is a check FOR MORE THAN THE DEAL! They will then tell you to give them cash for the extra, and it and the goods head off down the road!

Lots of scammers but easy to spot and weed them out. X2 I only deal in cash there. Too bad they try to scam folks. I am not going to answer them. I figured it was to get my email address. I suppose they are selling it.

When you post on craigs don’t put your number in like normal. Say 123 456 7890. Put one 2 three- 4 five 6 - seven 8 nine 0

I keep getting a text from “Michael cole” wanting me to install a fireplace and wants to know if I accept credit cards. He can’t talk on the phone though because he’s recouping from ear surgery lol. 3 different numbers texted me with the same exact text
