***Craigslist SCAM ALERT*** After posting an ad on Craigslist I received a text message from a person who refused to give his email address but did eventually identify himself; first only as "Chris" and then as "Christ james" (and only after being asked multiple times). From the way he wrote his texts he came off as someone who did not use English as a first language. Further, he wanted to pay the asking price for my item but wanted me to "hold' it" and immediately pull my ad while he sent me a "cashier's check". He was going to pay an extra $50 for me to hold the item and then he would have movers pick up the item.
Thanks to the red flags he put up himself, this site and several others, it became apparent that this was just a scam.
PLEASE don't fall for these tricks...my dog leaves more valuable stuff on my lawn that what these bottom feeders are made of.
