Oh i see,well that is ok.Thanks for the prompt response and i will love to make an instant purchase,so pls do withdraw the advert from Craigs list,i dont mind adding an extra $50 for you to take the advert down from Criags list,i want to be rest assured that nobody else gets a hold of the item.I will also like you to know that i will be paying via company certified cashier check,and it will be over night payment due to the distance.i will take care of that.So i will need you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the mailing of the cheque
1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address
3.Your phone number.
I am located in Ohio but currently on a business trip to the UK. I just want to purchase the item for her as a surprise birthday present as this day is around the corner. I would also like to pay a.s.a.p I will be sending my mover to come pick up the item. but i hope that it is still in a very good condition. Bye

I went ahead with the payment today so you should be expecting it this week, although there is a slight mix up. My secretary whom i gave instruction to write the payment got it mixed up. She mistaked your amount with the movers payment. So please as soon as you receive the payment just deduct your money and you will please help me send the balance to the mover because already i have not much time left before the birthday and if the mover does not get the money early to do what is expected of him then i guess you know what will happen so please i really need you help as well as understanding. Let me know if i can trust you with this task. To save you all the trouble you could deduct an extra $50 for the running around. Please this is urgent so reply a.s.a.p.

what happen next

Still waiting on the money. Are u sure u sent it? Can we trust the mover? He seems a little shady if u ask me. P.S. has the money been sent yet?

You're going to feel totally silly when you get a big fat cashier's check made out to Dew Shbague.

well seeing as how he'd be sending it to the zip code BOOBIE upside down...

I tried to sell a pair of speakers on craigslist and i had some dude send the same reply to me, at first seeming really interested in them and then hitting me with the whole spiel in the second email.
