Craigslist SCAM! Nothing new...just a heads' up

The wife and I have used Craigslist before and understand what we were in for. Tons of replies from deadbeat scam artists who kept up with their ruse. We had one girl from New Mexico send a cashiers check to us,,,but we gave her the address of the Chief of Police in our city with his real name. These people are always using "agents" and stories about their sick family members to try and get you to trust them,,,,as if they are really human beings who care,,,please! I had one person who used AOL as their address and I caught them on AIM and started talking to them as to why they are scamming people,,,they were very truthful and told me the reason they do this is because they hate Americans and they were doing this from another country. They kept saying that they are a very organized group of people who's sole purpose is to scam Americans out of their money,,,nothing more and nothing less.
