Craigslist Scam. He is the text I received:
"Good I'm okay with the price & condition,i plan to send the money in a
bank check and Usps it to you, then I will arrange for a pick up
after check cleared at your bank.. i'll need your full name and
delivery address not a p.o box for the check to be issue out to, i
await your response and after the check clear It take only 24/4hrs to
clear after that my movers will come for the pickup asap Thanks"
The problem is that most people do not realize that it takes longer for the check to clear because the bank is required by law to now make the funds available to you the next day. They see the money available, take it out, send it and then the check bounces and they are out the money and the bank fees.
Always, always, always deal in cash and at a secure location. Many police depts. will allow you to use their property for those transactions.
