I got an email today from [email protected] asking about a CL item I was selling and then another from [email protected] say: "Hello, My assistant told me your item is still for sale on list, I will add $50 to the purchase price for you so that you can hold it for me as i am on a business trip and wouldn't want to lose it to someone else. Please provide your full name, address and your phone number so that I can send your payment. I will be paying you by a Money Order... It will take 6 -7 days for the payment to get to you and as for delivery I will make arrangements for the pick-up after you have received payment. Kindly get back to me, as soon as possible, with your name, phone # and mailing address where payment will be sent. Note: As soon as you have your money in hand, we can talk about the picking up of the item. I would like you to take the posting off from craiglist today.
Thanks"
It sounded fishy so I googled their email and saw that it was a scam.
