Here's the same scam, which i just received today after posting on Craigslist last night.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,I am located in North Georgia,NG/USA and I am happy to know the condition of the item,I would have loved to pay with paypal but, i cant afford to be burnt twice, visit this site and you would understand
better (
http://www.paypalsucks.com) and i will like to offer you $360 and I would proceed with the paymentimmediately,and Incase you dont know how Usps Money order works, This is how it works, as soon as i make payment with USPS Money order, they will notify both of us that, i have made
payment for some amount and they will have to pend it inorder to findout somethings about my payment. As soon as they approved my payment, they will also let you know that, my payment has been approved and a confirmation would be sent to you and also your money order would be mailed to you immediately, the money order would be get to your address in 3 to 5 business day, first class mail to confirm the delivery of your money order. I think its better and safe because, once they approved payment and you have been sent the confirmation, its for sure that the seller or whoever thats involved will definately receive
the money order and thats why it takes them hours to approve after pending As for the shipping, you dont have to pay adime for it because i will be responsible for the shipping to destination. Upon confirmation
of payment via email, i will send you a fed-ex prepaid shipping label to you which you will paste on the package before fedex comes for the pick up. I will like to read from you if this is okay by you. Let me
have your full name and address so that i can proceed with the payment.
NB
Please dont forget to end the bid once My payment has been confirmed.thanks
NOTE:Kindly send me the pictures of the item so that my son can see it
well...

i went to usps.com and looked for online money order. it was discontinued back in 2004. so i had my doubts. i asked the guy what website he was planning on using to make the payment. he replies with..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just get back to me with your full informations for payment and the pictures of the item okay..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so i took it further, he sent me the confirmation email that he purchased the money order etc. The email was so suspicious, it had a link to fbijobs.com (bogus) should be fbi.gov. and Authorized was spelled with an 's'. so i told him i knew it was a scam and to not email me any further or else i would report him. But i'm going to report him anyways.
