This scammer emailed me the following message in response to an item I had up for sale on Craigslist.
"Hi,
Am glad it's available. I'm going on a vacation to London but I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I'm sure you will get in about 4 - 6 business days. I'll add $30 extra for the delay. I'll pay by M O or cashier check so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and your phone number) so payment can be mailed out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment. Awaiting your info.
Thanks"
No one pays extra and doesn't bother to inspect the item for sale before purchasing something local where they can inspect it.
