Question Craigslist scammer?

Just smells like scam.

'buyer' is "Schwiesse Scandoval"

Sorry for the late response,
I'm glad you still have it for sale,i would have love to come and see
it,but my schedule is very tight.I will mail out your payment once you
provide your full name.phone number and address.I can only pay via
certified Corporate/Cashier check as am on a business trip now,pls let
me know where to send your payment to because i wouldn't want to loose
it to some else.I don't mind adding fifty dollars so you can keep it
in my favour,you should get your payment in 2-3working days i will
appreciate if you can get the ad off craigslist so i can be sure you
are keeping it in my favour.Please let me know as soon as you receive

I don't think you know what you are wanting to buy.
You asked for more pictures. I didn't post any to begin with.
You had no comment on the pictures I sent and you have not specifically
mentioned what I'm selling, just a poorly written form letter.


'He' didn't reply...
