Hi, this is my newest scammer. Received the same message as usual, telling me to consider my item sold and remove it from Craigslist. Then she asked me for my info and said she would send a certified check...Right!

you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the
mailing of the check...

I will make arrangements for the pick up as soon as you have your
