He responded to my Craigslist ad for an Ikea bed frame (cheap)

His message:
"Thanks for the prompt response i want you to know that am okay with the condition of the item and i will love to make an instant purchase.
I will be mailing (overnight) a certified check from my account to cover the cost, while you hold item on my behalf, am willing to give an extra $40 for you to hold item till you receive payment. Once you have payment, I will have my handler come for pickup at your place as soon as check clears your bank. I will be needing the following information to issue out the payment..

1. Name to be on the check
2. Home Address

4. Final Asking Price.

* Please note that the payment will be mailed overnight via the courier to your address and its bound to delivered within 2 to 3 days. I have taken a closer look at the item and am very satisfied i really need this and would appreciates that you help hold this for me till the payment arrives. Furthermore do remove the posting from CRAIGSLIST as am definitely buying it from you. Hope to hear from you ASAP"

I googled his email address and several similar complaints showed up on this site. He is still active.
