Hey ok so I put up a listing for some tires and rims I have and I'm getting responses like this :

Hello,

My name is ****** from Fort Lauderdale Florida, USA. I just view your item now which i like it . Could you let me know if the item is still available for sale and the condition of the item . Can you send me more pictures of the item ? And note my payment method will be via a certified canadian draft . I will look forward to read from you soon.

It had a real name I'm just keeping it private. Fort Lauderdale! I'm in effing Saskatchewan Canada. Flag Number one. Flag number two is the payment thing, I replied and he sent back this:

Thanks for your quick response and please consider the item sold to me . I will be sending you a certified canadian draft which will comes with an excess fund meant for my shipping company , once you recieve the payment take it to your bank and cash it you will be given an instant cash at your bank then deduct your item fee ok the remaining balance left will be send to my shipping company that is the cash they will use to come over to your house for the shipping of the item at your place ok . I hope you understand me ? Get back to me with your payment details such as full name, contract address,postcode, cell number and your last asking price for the item . I will look forward to read from you soon .

Sounds kinda suspicious to me...I asked if he would use paypal as that would be safer I think.

it def sounds like a scam to me. i get very similar emails whenever i sell anything here on craigslist.
 
With grammar like that it's got to be legit!

No, but seriously. It's a scam.
 
yeah sounds sketchy, If 'he' agrees to paypal it may be a little better.
 
Yup, if he was for real, he would never say "the item" he'd say something like the wheels... it's a generic scam email.
 
you NEVER want to take a check, money order, or something like that in exchange for goods and services via craig's list. it's just a bad idea. definite scam.
 
Sounds like a scam to me.
 
My buddy got an email just like that when he was trying to sell rims on there. Turned out to be a scam. He got sent a cashiers check and called the bank it was from and it was a fake.
 
Haha, thats what I thought boys. Just wanted to make sure...Its just hard to not get my hopes up that someone will buy them haha
 
craigslist means cash only. Meet in public parking lots and never take anything besides cash!
 
oh yeah for sure scam. You will get those all the time
