I would say yes. The fake check/Craigslist scam has been around for a while. What they hope is one of two things:
(a) The check will appear to clear your bank in 2-3 days. You ship the item & then the check bounces in 4-6 weeks. Usually the check is good, but the transit numbers at the bottom are fake.
(b) The check will be for more that you asked for. They want you to use a cash wire transfer service (Western Union, etc.) to send money to their 'shipper', who'll be picking the item up. See (a)
