I'm trying to sell a car on craigslist and this is one of the responses I've received:
--- Quote ---Hello,
Thank you so much for your mail. I am glad the vehicle is in good shape. I'll take the vehicle for the firm price. Please, provide the following details below so that payment can be arranged and sent to you ASAP.I would like to know if you can make yourself available when the shipping company comes for the pickup of the vehicle?
YOUR FULL NAME:
ADDRESS (NO P.O.BOX ALLOWED):
CITY:
STATE:
ZIP CODE:
TEL/CELLPHONE NUMBER:
Finally, payment will be mailed to you ASAP and I'll let you know when and after it has been mailed out to you. The amount on the Payment will be more than your selling price for the vehicle. Please can you give me your solemn word that you will send back the excess funds to the shipping company as soon as you have it cashed at your bank?. The funds are meant for Insurance,Taxes and custom duty papers for the vehicle and to have it shipped.Please, confirm the receipt of this mail along with the payment details.
I await your response.

Who sends more money than the asking price to the seller? Wouldn't they just give the excess funds to the shipping company themselves?
Malenko:
its a scam. tell them to send the amount for the car if they want it, and dont ship the car or whatever till payment clears.
Dartful Dodger:
It looks legit to me.
If you want to speed up the selling process you should include your social security number and mother's maiden.

From what I've heard, the Nigerians have been going after dating services. Looks like they've landed at craigslist as well.

lol.... yeah... I'm going to buy your $2000 car at your asking price, but I'm going to send you a $9,765,379,836.00 check...
the rest is for insurance, shipping... etc, and you can take $10 for yourself for all the hard work...
yeah, please email me your name, addr, phone number, b-day, ss$#, mother maiden name, bank name, bank routing #, bank account #.... that will speed the process....
if you want to further speed up the process of depositing, you can mail me your bank card, and on a separate mail, write down the password....
its definitely legit... yeah right.... lol....
