Call me or text your message"
I get this exact same message, sometimes from Kelly Moser, and sometimes with different names. This is a typical craigslist spam artist. Don't respond, and don't call the number. They also sent me a text message asking to respond, so I think there's some kind of huge fee attached to this number.
Spam messages never really mention the thing you're selling, and there's always some reason why they can't pay cash. The cashier's check that they give you will clear at first, and then ten days later it will bounce, extracting the sum from your checking account.
Whenever I use craigslist, I meet the person in a public place or I make sure someone is with me if I go to their house or if they come to mine. Cash only, always. Sometimes I even write an informal receipt if it's something over a hundred bucks.
