I received the same response to a Craig's list posting for my bass boat.

Hello,
Thanks for your prompt e-mail, it was just exactly what i wanted and
can you assure me that i will not be disappointed buying this from
you. I am really interested in purchasing your ad. Am a merchant
marine and am offshore right now, I will appreciate if you can email
me with more picture of it as i won't be able to see this in person. I
would like you to answer this question about the item;
1. Are there any other issues with the item not mentioned on Craigslist?
I will be glad if you can tell other interested buyers that the item
has been sold. I'm offering the exact price listed so please kindly
withdraw the ad from Craigslist. I will be paying via PayPal. I can
only pay through pay pal at the moment as i do not have access to my
bank account online, but i have it attached to my pay pal account, and
this is why i insisted on using PayPal to pay. If this is acceptable,
advice soon and if you don't have an account, you can easily create an
account fast and easy at www.paypal.com. I will need you to provide
the following information to facilitate the Payment
1. Your PayPal Email Address.
2. Your address for pick up.
I will be responsible for moving, I will have my mover who handle my
shipping from anywhere in the world come over for the pickup after i
have made the payment.
Thank you for your time
I responded and she/he/it responded immediately to my email which made me suspious and offered to buy my boat sight unseen for 13,900.00. Something is just not right so I searched google before I did anything except email. I found other post talking about a scam. I did not loose any money because I did some fact checking first am glad I did.
It has to be a scam because no one would buy a used boat from a picture and offer full price.
