MY RESPONSE WAS AS FOLLOWS:Thank you for your prompt response.  As requested I will hold item for you, but will require some information first since so many scams occur on this site.

Full Name
Address
Phone Number
 I will only accept check(certified) if it is drawn on a local bank and can be verified prior to release of the merchandise to anyone.
 Otherwise cash will be required to complete the purchase.
 Please understand this is not a reflection on you, but a safeguard for me to protect my interest.
 Please contact me ASAP with info requested, and we can proceed from there.
 If there is no response from you within 24 hours, I will assume this was a scam and take the necessary actions in reporting this as such.
 Again, as stated before, this is a precautionary measure, and no reflection on you.
 I look forward to doing business with you, and await your response.

Thank you,

Same guy is using this number as well... 562-368-4861. Look up the comments under that number.

Same guy contacted me...the e-mail he sent me is exactly the same as the first one. His name is Swaraj Gabii Karunakara and e-mail <blazinmails@10tecs.com>

I REALLY appreciate this website! Just with a click I was able to get rid of a scam artist.

By the way, I reported him to Craigslist spam@craigslist.org, Internet Crime Complaint Center/ FBI (http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx) and Econsumer.gov http://www.econsumer.gov/english/report/overview.shtm.

We have to stop this crook!
