<prompt> Human: Hello! Im not sure if this is the correct area to post something like this, so please direct me to the appropriate subreddit! I am selling a watch that I own on Craigs list. A few days pasted and I got a text from a phone number that seemed almost... automated? It read: Hello, if your Jewelry is for sale, please contact my dad at randomdadsemail.email if it is still for sale.I didnt think much of it of course, and decided it would be worth a shot as I have experience selling through Craigs list and know some people prefer to email. I emailed the person which seemed to have a normal looking email account that my watch was for sale and who I was referred by. This is the email that I received back:Thanks for the prompt response to text. I will be buying this fromyou, kindly withdraw the advert from CL and considered it sold. MyPayee will be overnight the payment asap but he will be paying with acertified check and it will deliver to you via USPS , So Illneed you to provide me with the following information to facilitatethe mailing of the check... And am offering additional 50 with theoriginal price to have this asap.Full Name to be on the payment...Address to mail the check to...Final Asking price...Cell phone to text you on ...I will make arrangements for the pick up as soon as you have yourcheck clear, due to my work frame and my kids,I will not be able tocome with the cash and pick it up myself,so my Payee will mail thecheck and have someone pick up the item after the check clear.,Reference to your CL post am completely satisfied with it and thepayment will be deliver AsapOf course I was a little skeptical of this email. Why would someone offer me an additional 50 for an item I priced a little high as I figured some people would try and negotiate with me and bring the price down some. Why would he ask me to take down the CL ad and consider it sold? There were just too many red flags. I replied to the email with:Unfortunately due to the nature of how I do business, I wont be accepting any offers other than an in person exchange with cash.The man was still persistent with his offer and emailed me back with: I have a personal shipper that will come down to your location for thepick up of the item as soon as you receive the check So I only paidwith check the check is 100 real and legit the check will clearbefore we can arrange for the pick up just get back to me with yourfull name and address to mail out the check to you asap thanks.There are a lot of red flags that I see, but I am no expert on any of this. Is this some sort of fake cashed check scam? The man seems like hes willing to wait until the check clears, and will have someone pick up my watch in person after I am satisfied with the transaction. I just wanted some other peoples opinions and knowledge on this type of thing if its too good to be true, or sounds like it could be an actual business exchange! Thank you. EDIT Sorry for the formatting! Most of it was my part, but I simply copy and pasted the emails that were sent to me. Reading everyones comments I agree with everyone that this has to be a check bouncing scam. Thank you for all your replies, and it was just nice to get some 3rd person perspective on the matter!  <response>: Please stop all contact with this person, it is a scam.
