I have a vehicle for sale on Craigslist and got the "do you still have the item still for sale? Hope it's good condition?" email. Seemed odd but I replied and got the following email in return:
Thanks for your swift response, I'm seriously interested in buying
this for my Father as gift, your asking price is quite reasonable and
affordable considering others I've seen lately, I'll take it. I would
have loved to come check it out my self but am currently in camp as
military sere instructor for new recruits. I however squeezed out time
to check this posting as all personal dealings are highly restricted
here, i really want this as a surprise gift for my Father so i won't
let him know anything about this until it get delivered to him and due
to the fact that phone calls making are restricted... I will be
paying you with my PayPal account because it's attached to my bank
account and its safe and very secure way to make payment. If my mode
of payment is accepted just send me your paypal email address, (Paypal
ID) so i can pay in right away. I have a private courier agent that
will come for the pick up after payments has been made, so no shipping
included. I'll need your name, the pickup address or location and
please include your PayPal email address for the payment and send me
some recent pictures if available And if you dont have a paypal
account, you can easily go to www.paypal.com and sign up. Its very
easy. I await your reply asap
Thanks Tonya

The whole thing screamed scam so I searched the name and found plenty of scam hits. Just wanted to add another.
