Possible Craigslist Scam

[Zotch]

I am selling my Mopar Side Steps (feel free to buy) on Craigslist and got this email from a buyer.

My Spidey sense is tingling.

"Thanks for returning my husband message regarding the item, We are ready to purchase it now but i won't be able to meet with you due to my work frame and we are in the process of moving and also preparing for my daughter's wedding, But we are satisfied with the price & condition posted on the CL so everything is good, My husband will proceed to overnight a Cashier/Certified Check to you through FeDex and we will arrange for someone to pick up the item from you after the Check fully clear your bank. Moreso,we will be adding extra $50 to the asking price so that you reserve it for me and my husband. Kindly Email me the following information to overnight the check ..

Full Name to issue the check....
Address to overnight check.....
Cell # & the final asking price.....

Confirm the receipt of this email if selling to us and email me back with information needed to mail the payment out ASAP.

Thanks "

100% scam. I get that crap all the time. I like to play around with them and raise the price.

Thanks all. For a split sec when I read it I thought it might be legit.

Lol, just like the pristine TJ Rubicon I inquired about on Facebook Marketplace.....for $1200. They were going to ship it to Oregon from Maine for free. Lol. Sadly people fall for this stuff every day.

Hey at least you got a scam reply. I haven't got that on my rubi rails. Lol

I am not even sure how the scam works but it was outlined in a warning from Craigslist when I posted something for sale once.

They make a mistake and send too much money and then ask you to refund some of the money... They could care less about what you're selling

Anytime anyone reverts to wanting you to email them I assume it is a scam nowadays. I have had a couple of these myself. Also I never do a money order or check from Craigslist.
