Re: what are the new craigslists scams?

I assume new versions of the same “I’ll send you a cashiers check for the asking price plus shipping, oops I overpaid, please wire the difference back to me” scam. Fake cashiers check of course that you deposit, the bank accepts, then a couple days later bounces back. Or the fake paypal email thing. They do seem to ask for some kind of code verification which is odd.

What I love is that they seem to be actual people (not robots), and I always have fun dragging them along and wasting their time.
