I m ok with the items,however i will like to pay for the rims via US Certified Check, i will need your full name,phone number and address to send the check to you.The check will get to you in 2-3 days and when you got the check you go head in cashing the check at your Bank,i will wait for you to confirm and clear the check before any futher transaction.You dont need to worry about the shippment,i have a shipper that will come for the pickup at your location after the check clears in your bank and deduct your money for the items......
The payment will be in excess as i will want you to contact my shipper with the excess fund after you must have confirmed and cashed the check at your bank,you will send the excess fund to my shipper via Money Gram Money Transfer,he needs the money to come and pick the rims up at your location you will also let me know when you will be available for them to come for the pickup after you have your money at hand..If you have any question regarding this transaction please dont esitate to ask.You can get the posting deleted from Craiglist.Thanks and God Bless

thats a fairly common scam used over craigslist.
They always word it differently but it ends up being they send you checks with more than they're supposed to pay.
Definitely stay away from that

The Van is red, Craig. You should know that after driving it for so many years.

Mark, I'm 100% sure it's a scam. Money Gram's are easily forged. Anytime Money Grams become involved in anything it's usually a scam. Bring that info to your local bank, and they will tell you the same thing.

Serious thread is serious.

You must not read much or watch news. This scam has been out for years now. Its as bad as the lost relatives who have left you millions or the lottery you just won in another country. Don't play too far along because it does not help you to deposit bad checks in your bank account.

Tell them to pay you with a USPS money order or certified bank check rather than a personal check. I bet they disappear.

You have got to be kidding, you don't know it's a scam? If you REALLY don't know, just send me your wheels after receiving my money order I'll send you. :rolleyes

SCAM. Whenever they use the word "items", its a scam. I do a lot of selling on craigslist and ebay and have seen this a million times. String them a long for a while and tyr to get a picture of them or something. Here's one I got a couple of years ago from a scammer trying to get a macbook off of me;
