selling my laptop, is this a scam or not?

[Mark]

i posted my laptop for sale on craigslist. someone replied back if its for sale, which it is. heres what they wrote back

Hello,
Thanks for you quick response. I will be buying the laptop at the rate you wants to sell it. But the only convenient means of paying is mailing you a certified cheque and as for the shippment my shipper will come for the pick up when the check clear at your location upon your confirmation of receiving the payment and I don't want you to look for another buyer.I would have love tocome down for the pick up but I don't have chance to do that now but I am satisfied with your description of the item. I will like you to give me the following information so that your payment can be issued out.
1) your full name to be on the check
2) your full contact address to send the payment to
3zip code; your mobile and land number to reach you.
Awaits your reply...



i dont know, i mean the reason i put it on craigslist was so someone could pick it up in person with cash. i dont know anything about certified checks.

Who's this "shipper"? A courier? Tell them to cash the check and bring you the cash.

didnt the language give it away?

I think there are so many ppl who have a hard time understanding this simple scam, that scammers are still trying to give it a shot.
