Unless the ad is local and they willing to meet in person, it is a scam. You should always meet at a location that could be considered safe with video surveillance. Most police departments will allow you to use their premises for these transactions, whether in the lobby or the parking lot.
I saw the Craigslist ad too. But it's listed in my area; around Reading, Pennsylvania. Before calling or texting I thought I'd check the number since I hadn't recognized the area code. And found this. The number seems to be around your neck-of-the-woods, but I'm suspicious. Could be telling the truth, but you can never really tell these days. I know I'm not much help. Just stay vigilent friend.
