jay plemons(@jayplemons):That was a common scam on Craigslist years ago. They’d offer you more than what you were asking to pay someone to deliver it for them. You’d deposit the cashier’s check, pay the delivery, then eventually the bank figures it out and you owe the whole amount back. The scammers got your item and some extra cash from you.
