The following are emails I received from a scammer trying to purchase tickets I had posted on craigslist.org. I have omitted all of my responses (except for the last one) for privacy purposes.

Thanks..."

"Hello,
Thanks for your response in business time, i would have love to call you but due to the schedule of my work, i will need your name and address with your phone number for payment, As am only able to make payment by certified check, because i am on business trips and i will be pleased if you can send me more pictures. It will take some days for the payment to get to you. As per pick-up, I will make arrangement for the pick-up after payment has been received and cleared in your account. I would not mind adding 50$ if you retain it for me and Please take the posting off Craigslist today and consider it sold to me. Do reply back with your full name and address in which the payment
will be mail to you. Expecting to hear from you soon.
Regards...
Hollins"

NOTE: I responded to each of the emails, but thankfully never gave my actual address or any other identifying information. My last response can be seen below:
"If you cannot mail your payment to a secure post office box, then we cannot and will not make a deal. Additionally, I have reported your email to Craigslist as spam. This email conversation will also be posted on usacomplaints.com. Do NOT contact this email address ever again. Thank you."
