I received this response from my ad on Craigslist. Does it sound like a scammer's response "Hello seller..

payment as soon as possible...
Regards..
John"

Depends on what Paypal information he needs. Your Paypal email ID is just that - an ID. If you're not providing any other information then you should be safe. However, unless you've not specified Paypal you can ask for payment in any form you choose. A cashier's check is the safest, just hold the item until the check is cleared.

the email is fine along with the amount, best bet is to talk 2 him over the phone or something 2 make u both feel at ease, if u need further information on email/paypal scams http://scamsbeware.com is a good resource center to help u stay informed, best wishes

yes
If it seems too good to be true, it
probably a scam. If it's unsolicited, it's a
scam!!
