I got the same message today from richardsonalvin01@gmail.com ... it reads:

 Thanks for the prompt response and i will love to make an instant purchase. My Office will be mailing (overnight) a certified check from my account to cover the cost, while you hold on my behalf. Once you have this, my mover will come for the pick up at your place.
   I will be needing the following information to issue out the payment . . .
1.Name to be on the check
2.Home address to mail the check to
3.Telephone
   Please note that the payment will be overnight by my Office to your address and its bound to be delivered within 2 to 3 days. I have taken a close look at the advert and am completely satisfied, i really need this and would appreciates that you help save this till the payment  arrives. Furthermore do remove the posting as am definitely buying it from you and it would be sad  for me to have the payment in the mail only to be alerted it as been sold when the check does arrives. Am A Respectful Buyer On CL, Regards.
Rich.

***

Beware of people like this! For these reasons I only accept payments through paypal and I personally send the package through the mail.

same here....Got a check in the mail from Franklin Pierce College.   i called them and left a message with the accounting dept.  This is really bad!

---------------------------------

Thanks for the email, I am very sorry for the delaying i put you in receiving your payment but as a matter of fact the check has delivered to you via fedex courier service. Please, as soon as you got the check today, kindly go ahead to deposit the check in your bank then proceed with the cash to western union after deducting your item cost (money) and extra $50 for your running around. Just send the rest money  after you deduct your money to my mover via Western Union Money Transfer (money in minutes) at nearest western union money transfer near to you. Below is my mover information you are to send the money to:

Jennifer Sliger
140 point avenue
Columbus MS 39705
globaldeliveryshippingagent@yahoo.com
And make sure you get back to me with the western union details as soon as you send the money, such as..

Sender's Name
Total amount sent after Western Union/Moneygram Charges (Deduct charges from the remaining fund)
MTCN (10 Digit Money Transfer Control Number)
The current Pick-up Address

Scan copy of Moneygram/Western Union Money Transfer Receipt
The exact time you want the pick up to take place on Friday/Saturday.

Western Union is not a check payment.. you will fill u the form and fill your name as a sender and Jennifer Sliger as a receiver and after the payment is processed, they will give you receipts which will include 10 Digit Money Tranfer Control Number/ 8 Digit Moneygram reference Number if it is moneygram.

Alternatively, you can visit nearest Walmart store to send the money via Money-gram and get back to me the above information with 8 Digit Money gram reference number. Immediately the mover receive the above details then they will come for the pick up at your place, thanks for your time.
