I have placed many items on craigs list and received what I consider "phishing expeditions." You can mark it as such on your email server. Even craigs list places a warning on the message. I too have encountered odd requests such as "I cannot come pick up the item but will send others to do so; I'll put the check in the mail..." I rarely respond to these, nor do I take my ad down since legitimate buyers eventually show up. Isn't it a shame that it seems you have to be so cautious and less trusting these days. Hope you finally sell your bed to a good customer.

Good for you not falling for that scam. It's sad that some people will try to fraud someone else out of their hard earned money. If they would put as much effort into a real job then we wouldn't have the problems we have today.
