I have seen every scam in the book after dealing with craiglist a few times.
Some people literally only ask you questions about your item in order to steal your email address and spam you from overseas.
Some people sell items that don't exist either to get your info or email or hopefully both.
Some people buy items with fake checks or credit cards that they don't own.
Most of the stories have similiar commonalities. They will not talk on the phone. They have no pictures of the item and will not email any real information. Often the entire ad is simply lifted off another person. Further, the excuse for not dealing with you directly, whether buying or selling an item is usually that their mom,dad,sis,bro,uncle,aunt,grandma,grandpa owns the item and they are just doing you a favor by ripping you off so don't ask questions about anything.
