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

Yeah, it's like playing with yourself after awhile. I just completely stopped communicating with these idiots when I see stuff. They could really care less what you think of them,,,,they are a very organized and relentless lot of parasites whose sole purpose is to seperate you from your money. You can tell a lot from how they write their emails to you as to whether this is a scam or not and it's a "boiler room" set up they have. These idiots hardly deviate from their scam in how they write their letters and they always use the same type of banter,,,,they are from the Midwest,,,they have sick relatives,,,they always have a shipper or agent that is going to set up the payments,,,yadda yadda.

I even told one scammer ( after they sent the check to me ) that I was not going to send the money to them until I met with them personally and I also told them that the check they sent to me was cashed at one of those places that charge 10% to cash checks like they sent. ( They sent a check for $2000 to cover the cost of the item plus they overpaid $1500 so they could get the money back from me,,,supposedly because I'm an idiot and wouldn't think twice bout sending them $1,000 back while keeping the extra $500 for my trouble ,,,,yeah right) When they found out I cashed their fake check ( which I really didn't,,,just said it so it would piss em off ) they were all over me like a white on rice to send them their share of the money. I kept answering that I just couldn't send that kind of money thru the mail so if they wanted it they would have to send their agent to meet me on a certain day at a certain place and I'd give em the money. They never answered me back about it,,shucks,,,otherwise I'd have involved the police in a sting operation.
