Gotta love craigslist scammers.

My Father In Law is selling an engine on craigslist and got the following e-mail:

Hello there,
Thanks for the prompt response and i will love to make an
instant purchase, so pleaseĀ  and please do withdraw the advert from
Craigslist,i don’t mind adding an extra $50.00 for you to take the
advert down from craigslist so that i can be rest assured that am in
hand of the item. I will also like you to know that i will be paying via check,and
it will be over night payment due to the distance. You don’t need to
bother yourself with the shipment ok,i will do take care of that. So i
will need you to provide me with the following information to
facilitate the mailing of the check.
1. Your full name
2. Your mailing address be it residential or postal address
3. Your Phone Number.

Once again, I will like you to know that you will not be responsible
for shipping…i will have my mover come over as soon as you have
cashed the check.
Thanks….
Have a nice day.

Looks like this joker tried it on Joe too.

Thanks Google, for helping us root out the phishers.
