Am very sorry for the delay in getting back to you,I have a family issue i was called that my wife was rush to an hospital and after several text perform on her, they discover that she has a breast cancer and they have to perform a surgical operation this has taken my time and money meanwhile, I would like to inform you that i have instructed my assistance to mail out the payment for the item which she did but there is something I think I must bring to your notice,I discovered that my assistant must have overpaid you.The payment meant for another transaction was sent to you and the one meant for you was sent to another but this was issue on your name so you have nothing to worry about. However, I want to believe I will not have problem with you on this and for us to complete this transaction in timely manner, Please when payment is received in the mail, I would like you to take it to your bank and cash it then deduct your money as we agreed on and get back to me so that i can arrange the pickup with my mover.

I recevied a message today 9/17/12 about my Victorian cabinets I had for sale. I had two posting and he offered me a 50 dollar holding fee for both the cabinet plus the price I was asking. I was all for it till I thought maybe I should look him up and I did and it led me to this website. Thank god I found this or other wise I would have been screwed.

This is a scam and please DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!

Hello,
 
Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase and i know there might be other potential buyers so am willing to add extra $30 so that you can keep it in my favor.  My form of payment will be by sending you Check via courier mail.Pls do withdraw the advert from craigslist to avoid disturbance and to be rest assured on my side that i have bought it.

    I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the movers/pick up money will be included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable movers to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after check has been cashed,as i have other properties to be moved alongside with yours.
     
I would have really love to come for the viewing but due to my work frame that might not be possible. kindly get back to me with your Full Name and Physical Address including your Cell and Home Number so i can make out payment to you.
I believe this is based on trust.
 
Regards
