scam

[LeadMagnet]

I have furniture for sale on CraigsListCraigsList and have gotten (2) similar scam emails

Thanks for the prompt response. I have instructed my
account officer to mail (overnight) a certified
check, while you hold this item for me. Let me know
when you receive the check and I will have my mover
will come pick up at your place. Please forward me
the following info so I can issue your check . . .

1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address(Physical as Ups does not deliver to P.O.Box}
3.Your phone number.

** Please note that I will overnight the payment,and
you should receive it tomorrow. I appreciate you
holding this for me. Please delete the posting as I
am definitely buying it from you and it would be sad
for me to have the payment in the mail only to be
informed of the its sale**

come on how many people really fall for this stuff?

I wish I had an account officer.

I would imagine some people fall for it. There's always a sucker out there. I actually worked with someone who wanted to send money to Spain because of a scam email.

The 2nd email says they are going to send me a cashiers check for $3000 , I can take the $290 for the item and another $210 for my trouble and give them the rest $2500 plus furniture.
