wam, bam, thank you spam

Ohhhh craigslist. Sometimes you can be the best thing ever, and sometimes you can be a pain in the behind. At least I'm no dummy and can understand when I'm being scammed!

We've had an extra couch in our living room since we moved in. Original plan was to have both couches set up but I overestimated the size of said living room - it's doll house tiny. So right now the couch is underneath the bar area where the bar stool should be.

Sure, it comes in handy when we have people over, but I WANT IT OUT.

Enter craigslist! I sold my desk last year with no problems. I expected the couch to be the same. HAAA. I was wrong.

About 20 minutes after I listed it I got an email from one 'Long Zachary'...but his email adress was 'john.scot8@gmail.com.' Uhmm, OK - I was a little confused but emailed back and said that it was available.

Two days go by and he emails me back, but under the name of 'Louis Larry' with an email adress of 'ava.forsy06@gmail.com.' UHH WHATT?!?

I'm pasting the email below in it's entirety to show you how ridiculous it was. I mean, come on, you would go through all that trouble to get a USED couch?! What kind of idiot do you think I am?! I'm still laughing about it now. Hopefully you'll get a fun Friday laugh today, too :)

Thanks for the response. I am willing to pay your asking price. I am
paying with Money Order / Cashier Check and  I would like to send
payment directly to you the above mentioned. You should receive
payment within the coming ( 2-3 days ). As per pick-up,I have a
reputable shipping company and i will make arrangement with the
manager of my shipping moving company to come for pick-up after
payment has been received by you and cashed out. The payment will be
sent via Fedex Mail and a fedex tracking number will be provided to
you. I don't mind offering you an extra $50 so that you can tell other
buyers the item is no more available. My assistant will mail out the
payment to you once i have the details below from you :

FULL NAME ( Name to issue the payment to. )

Immediately i have these above information from you i will  have it
handled to my assistant so that he can proceed on sending out the
payment to you today. I would really appreciate if you take the
posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to me. .We'll
proceed on the shippment once the payment is delivered to you by the
FedEx Mail man.
Thanks for your understanding and i will really like doing business
with you......
