I listed wheels+tires on Craigslist-Boston and got a response from this classic and rather unoriginal scammer (note the same opening phrases used by other scams, the use of PayPal, and the request to ship the item):

Thanks for your prompt e-mail. it was just exactly what i wanted and
can you assure me that it's in perfect condition and i will not be
disappointed buying this from you.
i will like to buy this item for the exact price listed so please do
withdraw the ad from Craigslist. I will take care of all shipment
preparations and payment will be sent through PayPal.Do you have a
PayPal account already,
i will be needing your Name, mobile number and email with PayPal for
payment or you could send me an invoice(ill handle the PayPal
surcharge) and if you don't have an account, you can easily create an
account fast and easy at http://www.PayPal.com<http://www.PayPal.com>. PayPal is the fastest and
easiest way for me to make the payment.And also i will arrange the
pickup at your place and transport to my home and also don't forget to
get back to me with your address for pick up.
Awaiting your response
