My boyfriend just was looking at a bike on craiglist. It was priced really low and they said they had to get rid of it right away as they were going overseas and in the service. He sent them a message(I told him right away it was a scam and that you should never buy anything like that over the internet). They said they would arrange someone to drop the bike off to him and emphasized that they wanted to get paid right away. So...long story short...the lady at the bank told him that it was a scam and he finally realized it. There are lots of scams out there and you really have to watch what you are buying and from who. I'm so glad you didn't get caught into that and be out all that money.
