They're trying to get you to post them "the item" and / or the change from a fake cashier's cheque.

But I too have a few ads running on Craigslist, and just have to laugh at some of the responses I get, mainly the names of the people. Like Dominique Simpson, and Barnabas Mogen. And the way their responses are worded: "Hello, I am interested in the purchase of your item on Craigslist" instead of "Hey, do you still have that Ibanez guitar for sale, if so let me know". Are these just robo responses? Not sure what there is to gain from this, but it sure is annoying, and scary, one of the ads I have running is for renting out a room in my house! Gotta pay for that Bluestar somehow! ;-) toodle pip, -- Dug Smith | Terry Pratchett: It's almost (mailto:dug@dugbert.com) | impossible to ride a rock and roll (http://www.dugbert.com) | motorbike and stay on for three verses. |
