I just received an email from Yvette Fernandez last night for a sofa I posted:
Thanks you for the response according to the description,am okay with
the price and the condition pasted on cl. I am ready to make instant
purchase.My mode of payment would be in CASHIER CHECK and i will
arrange for a local pick up as soon as you get the check, because that
is the only inconvenient means for me and due to my work frame i can
not be able to get there and i promise everything will go smoothly.I
really wish to be there to check out the item but i don't have chance
cause am very busy person (US MARINE). Concerning the pick up, i will
arrange for it after you receive the payment and it clears... Pls get
back to me with below info so that i can proceed with the payment
immediately if you are selling to me...When the Funds Clears then we
can arrange for the pick up asap.

HAHAHA I got the same exact message from this person. I head scam artists, but even I feel bad for these people who don't have enough common sense to not copy and paste emails to everyone.

I got the same response for a Pilates machine I have listed on C.L. The email was from Mrs. Elizabeth Benson and the person to send the money for shipping was Jose Fernandez After receiving check for $1500.00. Sellers beware.
I got the exact same message from a Kathernine Castaneda. After doing a search, the name came up under several Craig's List scams. Thanks to others for posting and keeping the rest of us safe (safer, anyway).
