I got a similar thing. Send a sketchy looking cashiers check with all the security features missing and the bank's named MISSPELLED! Called the bank- they said its been a problem.
Almost word for word, i got the same text shortly after posting my girlfriends car on craigslist this morning. The language seemed fishy and i asked where he lived and if he wanted more pictures. He just asked for my address again and said he could send out a cachiers check today. Then i asked about the title and he said i could fax it over... LOL I knew it was a scam from the beginning, just not sure what info he is trying to get? would have my name, address and number. that is already public info... i haven't heard back since i responded with "i didn't know you can fax a title?". i'm actually trying to stall while waiting for a call back from my attorney. lol
YES this guy is still scamming people - I just received a request to buy my item for $850 and the guy wants to send me a check then come pick up the items later.
