This is a common scam on Craigslist.  Anyone using this service should read the recommendations posted by Craigslist on how to avoid scams.   Basically if you (1) deal only with local people, (2) only accept cash - no money orders, checks, certified checks, etc., and (3) never ship anywhere you're likely to be OK.



When I post on Craigslist I very specifically state that anyone responding must provide both an email and a phone # as well as their name.  I ignore robospammer emails that simply "ask" if the item is still available and don't even reference it by name.  These are scammers who will all use the same tactic - they are deployed overseas, or some other such nonsense where they cannot get to a bank - but oh wait, they have access to the internet, but lo and behold, their bank doesn't do internet banking (B_llSh_t) and they want you to Fedex/UPS, etc. the item somewhere and they will give you a big money order, or they want someone to come pick it up and they have a money order. 



There are a ton of take offs of these scams.   Cash only - local buyers - get their contact info = no problems.
