I put a living room set on Craigslist last night and they contacted me stating they want to buy my set. I asked where they were located because the area code was so unfamiliar and his/her response was "(1/3) will only able to make payments by certified check or Money Order. I will make arrangement for the pick-up after payment has been received and cleared in"
Figured it was a scam.....Thanks for posting, I just wanted to google this number to see if anything was on here and unfortunately it was!!!!

Yes This is a SCAM. Don't get involved. If you have given them your address, don't worry. They are spending too much time on Craigs List to cause you any harm. Their main objective is to create a line of information that will gain your confidence, identify suckers, etc so that they can hit you with a really big SCAM later. Most of them are just scammy (pardon the French) perverts and deadbeats. The real issue here is that our illustrious government leaders in all their glory and with all their wisdom will eventually figure out that they need to give these guys an entitlement and then they won't have to work so hard. PLUS ... that will take them off the unemployed list and make the unemployment numbers go down so that we will re-elect them and feel real cozy. Ain't we smart !!!!! It's our tax dollars at work, thank you very much !!!!!!!

What is the downside to replying and they do not respond again? What happens if you confirm your number by responding to a text? How can they hurt you unless you accept a check or get further involved?
