<prompt> Human: Regarding a craigslist ad I posted about selling a 250 watch, someone contacted me suggesting they send me a check for 2000 and I take out the 250 I was asking for the item, then transfer the rest of the money to a third party so that the third party can pick up the item locally and pay a shipping fee.This seemed very fishy and Im assuming this is an attempt to launder the 2000, can anyone confirmdeny this is whats going on?  <response>: This is a scam. Nobody would ever do this legitimately.They plan to give you a bad check, at which point they will have your watch and some cash, and you will have nothing, and owe your bank the value of the cash you withdrew.You could always try suggesting that you give them a check for 2000 and the watch, and they give you 2250 in cash. See how that goes over.
