Said they would send me a cashier's check for furniture for sale on Craigslist and asked for name and address. Told him I would accept cash only, and he said "check only." I told him to pound sand and find someone else to scam. Thank goodness I was using a Google number to communicate.

New York phone offering to buy furniture from California. They ask for name and address and offer to send cashier's check. However, they responded 10 minutes after ad was posted and didn't respond to repeated requests to call to confirm. Not sure their play but others report same scam.
