[QUOTE="klmno, post: 478581, member: 3699"] Steely, I got the same exact email when I had a few pieces of used furniture for sale on C List. I wasn't even asking $100 for all pieces of furniture together! I figured out it was a scam right away because no fool would buy this furniture and want it shipped to where they are moving- they said they were either moving to or from London or something, but it was basicly the same story you got and was asking me for my name and address so they could send me a check. I couldn't figure out how this would be scamming me either. Just keep in mind, not only would no decent person ever hire someone off C List to take care of their pets without meeting, talking, haviing a reference or something, but no normal person is going to pay for a good or service upfront and sight unseen. Oh- when lookoing for a place to live, 98% of the ads I responded to were legit. One however, responded with an email a mile long talking about how this man is a preacher out-of-state, has a huge family, helps underpriveleged kids, just wants someone nice to move into his property and rent it, yadda yadda....I have no idea what his scam was but I knew it must be a scam because no normal person would send an email like this over a place for rent, so I just deleted the email and never responded at all.
