thanks good to know
I was once trying to sell a smartphone on craigslist and the 'buyer' was attempting a craigslist scam where
he offered to pay me more money so that I can send it internationally. It was very scammy and I'm glad I didn't bite.

A simple google search confirmed my suspicion.

I was just attacked by this scam, seconds ago:

Was not that dramatic as in the story. As I asked them to send it in writing after the first 5- 6 sentence but they did tried it.

So if somebody tries this on you go for the ' This is the first time I hear about this. Send it in writing' ASAP, works like charm...
