Hey I was just wondering if anyone had ever sold anything on craigslist. I am trying to sell some random furniture and there was a warning about people using fruadulent cashiers checks.
Please be extremely wary of distant "buyers" responding to your ad! Many sellers receive replies from scammers hoping to defraud them through schemes involving (counterfeit) cashier's checks and/or wire transfers. Fake cashier's checks will often clear funds, but banks hold the person cashing the check responsible when the fraud is discovered. More info on scams can be found at this web address:

And I think someone is already trying to do this to me. A guy emailed me saying he was in Africa on a business trip but doesn't appear to speak English very well..asking if he could send a money order.
What do you think?
