The scammers will take anything and everything if they think they can get your money.

They send you a fake check with too much on it. They ask for a refund from you. After you sent them the refund, you find out from your bank that the check is fake.

Actually, you should do that. Don't forget to indicate some ungodly high customs value on the form so they'll pay a pretty penny in duties.

I was listening to a radio talk show (legal advice) the other day, and this lady said she was renting a house out and was contacted by somebody out of the country. He said he was sending his son to college in the US, and he wanted this landlord to help him get his son set up. Of course he sent her a western union money order that turned out to be fake, and she accepted it and then forwarded this guy some money from her account and got stuck with the bill. I swear, how many times are people going to fall for these scams before they wise up.......:Q

I try to stay off craigslist as much as possible. That site has the lowest of the lowest people on there (not just talking about the scammers either). Dealing the kind of people on that site is more hassle and frustration than it's worth.
