Thanks for getting back to me, I'm going to make a quick purchase of
it, but I will not be able to come and look at it, because am out of
town right now. Payment will be made through certified business check
and you don’t have to worry about the shipment; because i will hire a
shipper for the pickup. I know there are lots of dirty pool online,
therefore I would absolutely wait for the check to clear at your bank
before we set up with the shipment plan. So if you are interested in
selling this item to me, provide me the payee name and contact
address, with your phone number, for me to mail the check to you.

sorry i can only make the payment via the bank company check for security reason and the check will only takes two to three days before it's clear as i was informed at bank, so let me know if you really want to sell it to me,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
me
I really will sell it if you really will.buy it.

The payment will be made through business check. I have no problem with you waiting for the check to go through at your bank because it will be issue from my bank. It is secure for online transaction, i will wait for your bank to verify and clear that the check is good before we can proceed with the shipment.

(now I feel like toying with him)
me
Okay my bad about earlier, tell me more about how I ship it or wait for your guy to get it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anderson Marcus
i have a mover who will come for the pickup when you receive the check, i already have some goods that will be picked instate with yours, so i will need your name, address, city, state, zip code and phone number for me to issue the check to you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
me
Why not use Paypal? This should be like 35 bucks to ship
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is legit business and i have the support of my attorney on this so there is no need to panic, i would have love to come over cash, it's because of the long distant and i'm very busy at work, i understand that there are many scams going on online, but to keep you rest assured about the payment, i will wait for the bank to verify and clear the check before we proceed with the pickup, so let me know if you really want to sell it to me.

Receiving same messages from scammer listed above regarding something for sale on craigslist. Just report and put something in your ad to deter scammers from contacting you.

From scammer:
Do you still have it for sell? let me know asap.


Also from scammer:
