My friend sells things on Craigslist and just got an offer lately. The person wants to buy all she sells and offer more than what she asked. The buyer said he will send appx $2500 check for her to cash it (her goods are only $750 and he said he will pay $800) and someone else will come p/u the goods & and rest of the money.
I heard something simliar story and the person got into trouble. Where can I find that news link?

This is just a variation of the Nigeria scam where a check or money order is sent and you give them money before you find out that the check is worthless. If she were to agree, there would be someone there to claim he goods and the balance of the money before the check has a chance to clear the bank. I have never dealt with Craigs list but if there is a link there to report fraud she should report this person for that and don't have a thing to do with this unless she wants to be out the entire amount of the check!!
