The scam - short version --
You will receive payment OVER the cost of the item. You will be told to WIRE money to the shipper - who just happens to be the same as the buyer. The check will eventually bounce. You would be out of the money & the item if you shipped it. If it was paid by PayPal, you would get a fake invoice that LOOKS like but is not- from PayPal. By checking your PP file you would see NO money was sent. The scammer hopes you will not do that.
I hope that explains this everything.
Yes, so i was selling this item on craigslist and the same guy from the same emaill sent me a message saying he was going to do the same thing. so he did, here i am with a 2.450 dollars check, that was sent to pay a 100 dollars item. i so wish there was a way for me to find this [***]
