This Guy called himself Stephen, he posted this Ad on Craiglist and here is a transcript of his below transaction I caught him in his act trying to scam me.
Hello,
The price for the trailer is $4600 and it includes shipping and insurance, it is located in Washington state.The trailer is in very good condition, fully equipped and it has the health dept. certified in any state. I already have the shipping paid and I am able to ship the trailer anywhere in US. The transaction will be made thru eBay for our safety and so we can be sure of the legitimacy of our deal...to do that i need your full name and full shipping address and ebay will contact you shortly with all the information you need.
I have to let you know that I want a fast deal because I have some financial problems right now.

Stephen
