I have something listed on Craiglist and was contacted by someone to purchase what I was selling. Here is her email to me: Hello I really appreciate your response to my email. I want you to consider it sold, please do withdraw the advert from Craigslist to avoid disturbance. Anyway, I don't have time to come over to take a look because of my business but you don't need to bother yourself with the shipment,I'll take care of that by engaging the services of a mover that will come down for the pick up, hence I'll be sending a cashier Certified check and it will be delivered to you via Courier Service. so I'll need you to provide me with your FULL NAME to write on the check and FULL ADDRESS,Your Cell Number and your FINAL asking price.... to mail the check out asap. Thanks My response to her was this: Good morning, I have a PayPal account as I do not give out my address or phone number. And I have certain requirements prior to removing the ad. If you would like to pay a 50% deposit, I will remove the ad; once paid in full, I will ship it to you via priority mail. I do not meet anyone or will not provide my address for someone to pick up the Topaz. I informed her I would provide my paypal address to send the payment. And lo and behold, guess what? Never heard from her again.
