I have compiled a short list of ways to identify craigslist scammers. Checkout http://eddiekeyton.com/how-to-spot-a-craigslist-scanmer/ and let me know if you have anything I should add.
I've had a few offers who backed out because I said Verizon store only meet. Got a feeling they trying to pay me with some funny money or something.Lol.. every time I suggest that we meet at a vzw store... the people act all weird...its funny..even if I'm the one selling the device...I tell people openly . This way you can get the device activated and on your line asap..and you know you're not being ripped off...they act really strange when you say that.
I guess its because I'm brutally honest.

Eddie, thanks, nice thread. A comment and a question:
First, I once put a computer on Amazon, and the buyer is like, "Oh I totally want to buy it for my boyfriend, but he's in Africa. Can you ship it there?" That looked like a red flag, of course I ended up passing on the offer.
Second, the other issue that came up is the buyer wanted to skip Amazon and do Paypal instead. I hear all the time that that move is part of a scam, but if you say, "No shipping until the funds are in my account" isn't that safe? How do Paypal scams work -- is it like a check that bounces a few weeks later?
