Craigslist scammer

The first message comes from Craigslist and it asks you to email to an gmail address.

Here you wonder why they want an email because Craigslist already has a messaging system.

Then you will get a reply from a totally different gmail address whose profile picture is that of a young woman.  Here you go:

Hi,

Thank you so much for your response, I've been working really long
weeks at work so I won't be able to meet with you before purchase, but
am ok with the price and condition as shown on
the advert, I'll proceed in issuing a Certified Check/ Cashier Check
to you and when you receive the payment and it clears, I will make=
arrangement for pickup. So get back to me with below details asap.

Full name :
Physical Address (Only,not po box):
City, State, Zip:
Your cell Phone Number:
Deal Price:

As soon as this is provided, payment will be overnight to you through
FEDEX next day delivery and I will let you know then tracking number
of the package. I will also add an additional $50 for
keeping other buyers off till my check gets to you, also please delete
the posting or mark as sold.

Thanks and I hope we handle this in good faith while waiting to
hearing from you.
