    Scam?

    posted my wheels on craigs...

    got this email

    "do u still have item listed for sale"

    i said yes i do call or text me

    then got this,,


    Thanks for prompt response to my mail...I'm James and recently moved here on a job transfer and have a particular need for it.My secretary will be processing and mailing a certified draft which is generally acceptable to cover my purchase as i am interested in buying this from you. So i will need the details of whom and where to mail the payment..It will be mailed by carrier service and delivered to your address two working business day from receiving your info.

    (1) Your Full name which the payment would be issued out to. . .
    (2) Residential or Office Address where the payment will be mailed to..
    (3) Mobile #. . .

    Kindly take off the posting from the website as am completely satisfied with the ad and price. I'll send my mover over for the pick up right only after the payment as been delivered to your address.Please send me an email or text Here is my # 214 838 1908 I will do my best to attend to that as am usually very busy while at work.So do let me have the required info and i will get back to you asap.

    Thanks

    I would simply reply, "NO" and leave it at that.

    Yep. More than likely a scam. I select the "don't show email" thing so I don't get that crap. Also, spell out a couple of numbers of your phone number. If you don't, they'll call you too. The first time I put the Denali on there I didn't spell it out and got calls like "we can help you sell your 2008 gmc Sierra Denali". I spelled out a few numbers and they haven't called back.

    Funny when they have to tell you their life story that throws up a big red flag! Just say it is already sold or whatever you want and go on to the next person.

    Why not scam back? Go get a PO box number. Get the check sent there, see if a check shows up. Try and cash it, keep the wheels.

    I sold a piece of music recording equipment to a guy on ebay and got a very similar reply from the eventual buyer. He was just a super proper kind of guy but everything checked out. Just call the cell number he left for you and tell him about your reservations with dealing the way he wants. If he really wants what youre selling then he will adjust. But I wouldn't give out that address until you speak with him
