Yep they are still at it, all the above messages are ringing true. Just in the last couple days I recieved both messages!
I replied after reading all this, hope they get the message. Sad that we can't have a place to list our items for sale without someone out there tryin to scam us!!!!!!!
I reveive 2 different messages from people who claimed to be speech impaired. One was from "Chloe" as listed in other emails but with a different phone number. The other was from someone with the "cousin" story.
Hello,I would like to know if this is still available and when I can come check it out.I think I would have to call you before coming,I am speech impaired though but would call on tty.Thanks

Hello, do you still have this? When can I come check it out? Shoot me an
email back as soon as possible pls I'm speech disabled though, remember to
leave your name and email address when you email back
PS: - You can just reply this email, I'm always with my computer.
Followed by another email:
Thanks for writing back...but I'm sorry I won't be able to come see it anymore, embarking on a 3 month business trip to New York tomorrow morning,I was gonna be coming to your town that got changed but I still want it anyway,getting it for my cousin for her upcoming birthday. If you could sell it to me when I get to New York I will mail you a bank official check to cover the cost and also add funds to cover the shipping to where it will be needed. I'll arrange for a shipper/mover to handle the pick up and delivery so
it doesn't stress you. I really need this, quite important and urgent. I will be more than glad if it can be sold to me. Email me back with a name, address and your phone number for the check, write back soon. Thank you
I got a reply to a craigslist post with this phone number listed, similar to above:

though but would call on tty.Thanks
I received the same in response to my craigslist ad I posted earlier the same day:

got the same one - are they doing this just to get email addresses? I hope not, since I responded - but of course did not send name or address ----sigh....I hate scammers!
