    I posted my 360 on craigslist saying that it has red ringed once for 2 seconds then went back to normal...for a ps3 and this guy is I'm just not sure... it's really strange

    Hello,
    Thanks for posting the item on CL...ill like to buy this from you if you really want to sellit.So get back to me with the last price and the condition of the item I am okay with the firm price you intend to sell the item and I will like you to know that i intend making immediately we conclude about this item delete your posting of this item on CL if this is acceptable.I anticipate that a certified bankers check will be issued out to you by my bank and my secretary would have it sent out via UPS/Fedex overnight service it will be out to you by my bank and as for the moving my mover will come for the pick up at your location upon your confirmation of receiving the payment and i don't want you to look for any other buyer.i would have love to come down for the pickup but am not chanced to do that now as am a very busy indivdual with work and other obligations,but am satisfied with your description of the item,ill instruct my bank to issue out the payment to you as soon as i get the necessary details for the payment so in order words i have a mover that handles my shipment,they will be the one to pick up the item from your location once the payment has been confirmed and it would be in an OVERDRAFT that will include the shipping fees that would be needed to have the item picked up from your location by a prepaid local mover so ill like you to get back at me with the details below:

    1.....Full Name:
    2......Address:

    4....State:
    5......Zipcode
    6......Valid Phone Numbers(Both Home and Cell):
    7....... the total price of the item:
    8....... accept my offer:

    Once you get back to me with all the above, the check will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to you Hope to hear from you immediately.Looking forward to your swift response.i will also be offering you extra $100 for keeping the Item for me till the shipper comes for the pick up.
    Regards.

    It sounds like a scam to me. I would ignore him and wait for another buyer.

    There is 0% legitimate about that mail. It looks like a form mail from an automated scambot. It doesn't even mention what he's trying to buy.

    It looks like something that might come as a spam posting on my blog, 100.00000000% not a real offer.

    Its very simple when it comes to CL and Kijiji. There is one rule you MUST obey at all times:

    Sell locally and deal in cash only.

    That is all.

    PS - This has scam written all over it. Don't fall for it, don't send any info, delete the email and move on with your life.

    You'd think that eventually SOME scammer would learn how to spell, wouldn't you? Don't ANY of them have spell check?
