This person is doing the classical cashier check fraud with Craigslist items. Offering to buy things sight unseen and then sending a cashier's check with extra money to pay for the movers. When you fall for this trick you will try to cash the check, pay the cronies of this person, and then find out that the cashier's check is a fake and bounces a few weeks later. At that point you have lost you own money..
Don't fall for cashier's checks that are of a higher amount than what you are charging.

This person wanted my PAYPAL emailed address. NO WAY. Said they would transfer the money directly into my account (without seeing the item), then have a shipping agent pick it up. Umm no stupid.
I received a text saying they saw the desk I have on craigslist and would send a shipping agent to pick it up. They also wanted my paypal account to deposit the check into.
Same thing just happened to me. The person says his name is David Meyers. Did the Craigslist scam. All info was received via txt, but when I tried to call him it just went to voicemail. The greeting (automated), however, stated "The text subscriber you are trying to reach...." Which tells me that this must be a computer generated phone number.
