scam or am I just jaded?

[Demonaut]

selling some tower speakers on craigslist, got thi email from a prospect

Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it and just so you know; I'm okay with the condition, the price and I'm ready for the purchase plus I'm willing to add an extra $20 so as to have it reserved in my favor. My form of payment will be by Check and it will be send via courier service which will be delivered to you between 1-2days. I'll be responsible for the pick-up besides the movers/pick up money will be included with your payment so as to avoid delay and to enable movers to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after the check is been cashed as I have other properties to be moved alongside yours. I would have really loved to come for the inspection but due to my work frame it just won't fit in my schedule but more pictures will be deeply appreciated. Kindly get back to me with your full name, mailing address not po box and phone number so as to make out the payment to you ASAP. Many thanks

3. Yes, Total scam. I have read enough of these postings

on other Web sites, such as 419eater.com to know that it is a scan.

4. I just sent this idiot the name # and address of a retailer here in Co

store front address, this retailer is a tough as nails sob, if they show up with a check and ask for him sure as shit he'll call the cops

5. Believe me, they will not show up with a check.

Nigeria is a long way from the U.S.

6. I got a Nigeria scam letter once. I wrote back to them and railed at how

they were ruining Nigeria's good name. They then sent me scam letter #2.

If it feels bad, go with your first instinct and cut this guy loose.

9. They even send Nigerian scam letters to churches, with a religious twist to them

I used to work in a church office, and I'd say we got at least one a day by email!
