Suspicious offer to buy item unseen, send me a certified check, wanted my personal information

I had listed a $200 item on the Milwaukee craigslist and received an email from Liz Benson asking if the item was still available.
After responding yes, I received a 2nd email stating she wanted to make an outright purchase.

The mention of the certified check and wanting all my info made me suspicious. I googled her name and "Milwaukee" and up came a recent report about her on the Ripoff site.
... Soooooo happy to have found this info. I have not responded to her and am notifying Craigslist...

Here is a copy of her email concerning the purchase.

Hello,

Thanks for the quick response... Am satisfied with the price and condition of the item. I will like to make an outright purchase of the item. I am out of town on a business trip, so i will like to proceed in issuing out a certified check to you and upon the confirmation and clearance of payment my shipper will come for the
pick-up at your location. So get back to me with your full name, address, zip code and phone number so that payment can be mail outasap. Let me read from you today.
