Funny Craigslist scam

[thewrestlingfan]

So I listed an item up on CL today and shortly after I got a response from someone asking if the item was still available and I was like yeah. So this is where the conversation takes off.

Hello ,
Thanks for your quick response... Am satisfied with the price and
condition of the item. I will like to make an outright purchase of the
item. I am out of town on a business trip, so i will like to proceed
in issuing out a certified bank check to you and upon the confirmation
and clearance of payment my shipper will come for the pick-up at your
location. and just to let you know that i will be compensating you
another 50$ for selling the item for me and take the list off
cl...Please confirm & provide your name, address and contact
information so that the payment can be mail out asap.and in return I
will provide mine.So let me read back from you as soon as today.Your
early response will be gradually appreciated....Thanks

Yeah... I'm not a complete moron, I try to cash a fake check and the item is well on its way to you before my bank tells me it's no good. So I decided to have fun with it. This is what I sent him

That sounds awesome!

here's my address:

Joe Biden
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

I was thinking that he would catch onto it.. But no, this moron is actually going to mail a check to the Vice President of the United States.

Hello,
Just got your address,its ok with me and thanks for your understand,just be expecting the payment soonest ok and i will get back to you with the tracking # for the package and i want to inform you that my secretary will be issuing the payment immediately as i am very busy.I know am going to wait for the check to get cleared in your bank first.

Please as soon as you get the payment,kindly let me know so that i will know the status of the check from your bank.Kindly make sure you keep other buyer off and keep the item for me as i am very excited you are letting me pay for it,I hope to read from you as soon as you get it.

Thanks.

I hope they accept it as a campaign contribution.

They always try to get you to remove the listing so you won't get wise to it if someone else hits you with the same line.

I never thought about that. I just figured it increased conversions.
