Here are the emails used by Mike Colburn to scam sellers on Craigslist

All of these have been collected from prospective victims that Mike Colburn was attempting to scam by an overpayment with a fake cheque and wire draft.

Unforunately, none of the prospective victims let him continue past the 3rd or 4th email, before they cut off contact, so we are not yet able to show the full set of standard emails he uses.
