Scam artist.  Craigslist predator.

Total scam, y'all. Asked me if I could ship the item I was selling to their cousin who is in school. I replied that I only accept cash and that they can get the item and do it themself. The person replied that he/she was out of town so that's why they wanted to pay extra. I replied that I was sorry but I won't be able to do it & that I take cash. They proceeded to ask who I was. It's a TOTAL scam.

Scam artist - goes after postings on Craigslist ads.
