Good warning for anyone buying on Craigslist or Ebay. The scammers are out there, and its not just the high priced items, such as cars, etc. I have sold my fair share of items on Craigslist and Ebay (sporting goods, water skiis etc) and you get pretty good about what to respond to and what not too. On craigslist, always buy local! The Nigerian scammers are right in our backyards and they are looking for suckers with everything we post online to sell. Don't believe me, put an item up for sale, make it a couch and love seat. Guaranteed, you'll see a scammer contacting you, saying they will arrange for a mover to come pick up the set and then will ask you for your info.
