So this seemed like a HUGE red flag to me when the "seller" replied to my posting on craigslist within 10 minutes for an electric range that I priced high to begin with. Not only that but the content of the email is even worse.

Thanks for your reply concerning my inquiry. I am quite comfortable with the condition of the item. Since I won't be making any repairs on it, I will add $50 to the purchase price... for you to hold it for me,Please provide your full name, House Address (NOT A PO. BOX) and your Phone number so that I can send your payment. I will be paying you by Money Order.. It will take 2-3 days for the payment to get to you...As for delivery, I will make arrangements for the pick-up after you have received payment,If this meets your approval, kindly get back to me, as soon as possible, with your Full name, phone # and mailing address where payment will be sent, so that I can have my assistant get the Money Order ready.
Note:
As soon as you have your money in hand, we can talk about the picking up of the item.
I would like you to take the posting off craigslist.org today.

I don't think I'm being too critical of this weasel am I? It seems like a pretty typical scam. Is there a way to report these scumbags? There is probably no way to prove that they will actually screw you until your A$$ already hurts. :spank:
People like this make me angry. I'm still trying to figure out something good to get back to him with. So since I can't find which parents' basement this mound of crap is holed up in let's have some fun with this and come up with a funny way to reply to Mr. Sleezeball
