Craiglist scam??

Posted by mg16 (A) on April 17, 2022 at 13:57:43

I am selling a pair of Infinity speakers. Pick up only. I received this reply today from a Helen Jenkins.
It sounds like the classic Craigslist, check bounce, scam to me, or am I misjudging?

Message I received via my email:

Thanks for returning my message. I'm currently not in town for now, so i wont be able to meet with you due to my work frame and also we are very busy at this time preparing for our daughter's wedding but I'm okay with the price and condition as shown on the advert. I'll proceed in issuing a cashier's check to you and when you receive the payment and it clears your bank, I will make arrangements for the pick up. I will also add an additional $50 to hold it down for me. So get back to me with below details to mail the check out to you asap.......

Name to be on the payment ...........
Address to mail the check to ........
City, state and Zip code ............NOT P.O BOX
Final Asking price...................
Phone number to text you on ....

I told the person, that I can only accept cash in person. If they are interested, please come listen, and if you like them, then cash deal only, and that I hope they understand my being cautious.

Am I being overly suspicious?
