buyer scam

3rd of Feb, 2013 by User74001

Received the following message from an alleged buyer of a sofa I had for sale on Craigslist. Buyer claimed to be out of town and wanted to send a check and arrange for shipping. Approach matched those included in numerous scam reports. Do not do business with anyone that has email address KeishaLaurel016@googlemail or [email protected] Melissa David. Below is text of the fraudulent offer:

by March ! So i wont be able to meet with you to see the item but am
ok with the price and condition as seen on the advert, I'll proceed in
issuing a check to you and when you received the check and cash
