dcwillette 03-19-2010 3:43 PM  craigslist scam I think I may
have seen a thread about this on here but didn't pay attention
to it at the time.  I listed a couple of things for sale on
craigslist and I've received about 6 emails today, all with the
same story.... husband/boyfriend/son's birthday coming up.....
willing to pay more than I'm asking, etc.  Can someone explain
this scam and how it works to me?  wake77 03-19-2010 3:51 PM
Its just a scam, tell them to F off. Do you go to the store and
offer to pay more for an item than what the store is asking?  On
CraigsList, if an offer (buying or selling) seems too good to be
true, it is a scam, don't get involved.  dcwillette 03-19-2010

the whole email? Usually you are asked to take a certified check
or money
