Craigslist SCAM! Nothing new...just a heads' up

I was selling a motorcycle a few years ago and got one of these. The first email he wanted to know how much I was asking even though it was clearly in the ad. I was selling the bike for $4500. I told him $20,000 and gave him a PO box to ship the cashiers check to. I gave him a fake name. About two weeks later I got a $20k Wachovia cashiers check in the mail made out to Holden McGroin. He wanted me to deposit the check, get a $3000 cashiers check and send it back to him so he could pay the shipper. He said when they came to pick up the bike they would have another cashiers check for the balance. Needless to say I told him lick my nads.
