Question

Is it safe to ship items to craigslist buyers?

Some man emailed me this message: Good to read from you , i believe we can continue on this transaction because i don't like to beat around the bush and am not here for games, I am buying this item for my spouse located oversea and i will be responsible for the shipping and handling cost, All you have to do now is to send me a money request via paypal as for me to confirm if your account is still active or not or you get back to me with your paypal registered email account as for me to remit the payment. Please get back to me as soon as possible if you are still interested to further with this transaction.and i will like if you can ship the item through USPS International Express Mail (EMS).... I will be looking forward to read from you. I will also like to know the condition of the item. Regards. -- Hello Seller, do you still have this item available for sale. Please get back to me and i want immediate purchase . Bottom was the first message then I replied than the top was the second one. However I really need the money, but I don't know if this would be a scam or not. How would I know? Thanks.

He is trying to cheat you. On every page is a warning not to mail anything to a Craigslist buyer. All sales are to be done in person and with cash. If he won't meet you and pay cash, don't reply to him. He knows that you "really need the money". That is why he is preying on you.
