It just seems very odd, and I doubt that I'll respond at all but just seeing what other people thought.Is this a craigslist scam?
YUP -- you should report that to craigslist.



They send you a phony moneygram, you deposit it, return the excess funds to them somehow -- and then the moneygram bounces and you are stuck with nothing.Is this a craigslist scam?
