Who called from 3017414871

No call but just got an e-mail with this number asking me to call regarding an item I am selling on craigslist and to leave my name and e-mail address. I saw that it is a Maryland number (I live quite far away from the state of Maryland) and did a search on it and found these posts. I won't answer the person. I am curious what kind of scam it is? How can a person make money on inquiring about an item for sale that is too far away to go to? There is a name attached to the e-mail address of the e-mail I received. It is Raquel Carrington. The e-mail address that goes with this name is  [email protected]
Here is the message I got -- almost identical to one that someone else posting received:
Hello,i believe this is still up for sale,how much is your last asking
price?and please you can explain the condition,Shoot me an email back as
soon as possible or you can leave me a message here on my phone number
(301) 741-4871 I'm speech disabled though, remember to leave your name and email address when you call.
PS: - You can just reply this email, I'm always with my computer

The scammer will send you a check (which will turn out to be fraudulent).  It will be for $1000 or so more than you were asking for your item.  When you get it he will say there was a mistake and ask you to money gram or western union the balance to him.  Your money is then gone helping to fund terrorism or Nigerian hookers.  The address and name you wire the money to is just a spot they ping from.  The money is actually collected in a remote location.

Got the same email (identical wording) on an item I have posted on Craigs List.  Thought it was a scam and found this site.  Deleted the email.

"Hello, do you still have this? When can I come check it out?Shoot me an email back as soon as possible please or you can leave me a message here on my phone number (301) 741-4871,I'm speech disabled though, remember to leave your name and email address when you call.PS: - You can just reply this email, I'm always with my computer."
I got the same e-mail today - word-for-word.  Second scam regarding an item I have for sale on Craigslist.

I got the same note word for word. I hate it when people think scamming others is a good way to live.
