I posted an item for sale on Craigslist and they responded with a text about "will you accept a cashiers check for the fill amount addressed to you sent via UPS"" If you agree they respond with a text saying they are gong to overpay you the cost of the movers expenses and will you please cash the check, take out your portion and then get another cashiers check to pay the movers". Basically is a Money laundering scheme. Don't fall for it.

Actually it is just theft, not money laundering. The cashiers check they send out is fake and will bounce but not before the victim has sent off a legitimate cashiers check with the "movers" money. The victim ends up losing the money they sent back for the "movers" and whatever penalty fees the bank charges for the bounced check. The scammers may also have "movers" actually show up to take possession of whatever was being sold before the scam is discovered thus increasing the loss incurred by the victim.
