Hello,
I want to inform you that my assistant have sent out the payment to your contact address you gave me.... The payment will covered the packaging,logistic (shipping) and insurance .. You will deduct your item fee and send the rest balance to the movers via Western Union and they will proceed with the pick up.However i want to believe i won\'t have any problem with this and if i can trust you with my Money.

Please once you received the payment, i will like you to deduct your money for the item and send the remaining via western union or money gram to the manager\'s of the moving company that will come and pick-up the item at your place.I will provide the info you need to complete the western union transfer once you receive payment. Thanks once again for your understanding.
Best Regards.

Hi, Thanks for the response.I am willing to pay your asking price.I will pay you with a money order or cashier's check, as its the only way i can pay you at the moment due to the fact that i am away for an assignment.I will make arrangement for the pick-up after payment have been received by you. I don't mind adding an extra $40 just for you to keep it in my favor.Reply with your full name and address where payment should be sent,and a phone number where i can reach you.Please take the posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to me.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
