I see you found the answer but I wanted to post a link from craiglist about scams so it can help others. They have actual examples on the page.

OF COURSE it's a scam



This is an ad on craigslist or another local classified, correct?

Craigslist is for local, face to face cash transations only!



The only reason for someone out of town to respond to your local ad is to cheat you.



Never ship products out of town or out of country on a local ad.



This is a classic fraud - the 'overpayment and send me the difference back'



The 'certified business cheque' will be phony. You'll deposit it, wait a couple of days, then send the goods (along with the 'refund' of the 'overpayment' if you are silly enough to fall for it)

Then three or 4 weeks later your bank will inform you the cheque is a fraud and they'll take the money away from you plus penalties and fees.Is this a scam please read this.?
Sounds like an attempt to be professional but really wants your information and pics of other people's stuff.



I say spam and if I were you I wouldnt sell it to him or respond to his post. Block him lol.



Good luck.



PS: paintball is crazy fun I just bought a Tippman 98 custom and bought a 16in barrel and a double trigger. Is this a scam please read this.?
I see red flags everywhere. This is 100% a scam i promise. Do not go through with it. Especially if someone gives you MORE than you were asking then sends you a FAKE cashier's cheque? The cheque will bounce. You have to be sooooo very careful nowadays online. I would make him come to my door and pay in cash%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;while a police officer records the transaction. If the buyer has no problem with this then you may be ok...if he does have a problem then you will have a major problem if you go through with it. Good luck!! I have run an online business for 5 years and i have never been ripped off and i have a 100% approval rating.
YES THIS IS A SCAM! No one would add $40 on a check for the fun of it. Also, its run by western union. THE BEST WAY TO GET SCAMMED AND JACKED. They don't offer the same protection as paypal does. If it was paypal, I would go" umm ok" but this is western union we're talkin about. Cregs list is only for face to face payment. Not mail. Creags list is ment for people coming to your house and giving the payment to you.
