I was selling an item on CL. I first got an email wanting the item, I had more than one. so I replied as to how many, They replied with a request of an address to pick up the item. I replied with the address and again a request as to how many. I then got a reply with instructions to deposit a check that was being mailed to me. I was then to ship the item to an undisclosed address and send the balance of the money to a third party after I took my fees out. The Item I was selling was only $50. The check I received was for $1300. Then today I got a call wanting to know if I got the check? If it sounds to good to be true, well you get the idea. Don't fall for these scams. I didn't and the US Postal Inspector and the Internet fraud control division are investigating,
