I listed my waverunner on Craigslist and received this E-mail.
I'm pretty sure the guy is trying to scam me, but I'm just going to play along with it.
What do you guys think??
The first e-mail I got starts at the bottom and goes up.
Hello,
Thanks for the fast response.
Send me the name and the address the check will bear and be mailed to so that I have it sent to you as soon as possible. You dont have to worry about the shipping, I will include some funds that will be given to the shipper on the check as soon as you get it, Once you get the check you have the funds sent to him via moneygram wire transfer and then you both schedule a pick up time. Let me know

Thanks for the reply.
As far as shipping goes I don't know anything about that or how much it would cost. You would need to contact a reputatble shipping company and get an estimate on how much it would cost you. As far as the payment goes a cashier's check or bank check would be fine with me; however I will not release the waverunner until the check clears.
Let me know about shipping and the payment when you find out and we can move on from there.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hello,
Sorry for getting back to you late, I have been busy and tight with work schedule, had to travel some miles to get somethings very important done. Anyway what have you been up to on this sale, figured out anything about the shipping and payment at all. I am really willing to buy this from you and will post your payment as soon as each others term as been agreed to, the payment will be in full and someone will come and have it picked up as soon as payment has gone through, however as much as I like to handle the shipment myself, I have contacted a shipper to ask how much it will cost to have it thugged down here and they should get back to me before monday.
On the payment aspect, how about If I have a certified cashiers/bank check check mailed out to you as soon as I get the shipping quote so that I will include the shipping fee to be paid to the shipper on it and we can get everything rounded up before the end of next week. Let me know If this works for you and then we can move on from there.
Have a wonderful weekend
