This person contact me via email in response to an ad I had listed on Craigslist. He said he wanted to purchase the item immediately and would send someone to pick it up... He wanted my address so he could send me a cashier's check. He would not provide a phone number or call us. After going back and forth, it was obvious he was trying to scam us.
Here is one of the emails he sent me-
