I'm on the same boat. I placed an ad for Mattress on the Craigslist and got the same response "I'm out of town, send me your address to post the MO". Glad I googled this number!
They tried to perpetrate a scam, the old we will give you a check for more than we owe you, you cash it and give us the rest not too bright but im sure some have and will fall for it
Yep, same as Nick. They responded via text to a craigslist ad I have posted for my guitar. Said they're out of town, but would send a large check and movers to come get the item.
Identical to John's post... I have a guitar on Craigslist, he said he's out of town & would send money orders for the item and for the movers that would be coming to pick it up.
