I recieved a reply to a craigslist add about my wedding dress, had an inkling to look up this "reporter" and found these reported scam notes. Therefore I didn't loose anything but very well could have. Here is the email response I received.
Message body
Great, I would have also love to see it in person, but am far away from home now, am a reporter presently working in Syria, the wedding ceremony is fast approaching is on the 20th Jan. 2012 in Alaska.
I'm ready to order your payment to purchase the dress from the bridal company that failed to delivered my dress. A Money Order/Cashier's Check will be drawn to you to effect the payment of the dress, i will also add an extra $80 for shipping via Express Mail Service of US Postal Service. I do not mind to wait during the period which the checks will takes to clear your bank. Besides, a Money Order/Cashier's Checks are often treated as cash in many States banks because, it will be drawn upon the company's account and surely funds will be release immediately. Once payment has been received you will send the dress to my mother in Alaska, b'cos i will have limited time left to prepare for the wedding. If my mode of payment is fine with you, you can kindly advise your name with the address in which you prefer to receive the payment.
Thank you so much and i look forward to read from you soonest.
My regards,
Helena Botowski
