I have a couch and loveseat on Craigslist for $250.00 and I received the following email from "Martins Houston": Hi,
Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay
with the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase
and my form of payment will be by sending you Check via Fedex next
day delivery.
I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the pick up money will be
included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable pick up company
to schedule an appropriate time for he pick-up at your location after
check has been cashed, as i have other properties to be moved alongside
with yours.
I would have really love to come for the viewing but due to my work
frame that might not be possible, but if you have the pics, might want
to have a good look. Please do get back to me with your full name and
address including your cell and land number so i can make out
payment.
Thank you..

Call it a gut feeling but I thought I better google and find out a bit about this person/company/scam or truth. I am glad I did as I now know there will be a record of this along with the others. Dont do business with this name. My gut feeling came from the fact they wanted to know my name, address, phone, and location but didnt give me any of theirs. I believe we can never ever be too careful and its cash only when dealing with anyone on Craigslist. If they are on the up and up then they will understand the rules of buying and selling on CL. No question about it.
