Ask craigslist if they can run the IP address, then look up where the connection came from. I bet it was in oakland or east palo alto.

Just tell him you have a friend who travels a lot and lives in the UK, he'll call and collect the cash.
I'm always up for some scam baiting !
Lots of fun....

Don't reply to him at all. Under craigslist your email is hidden. If you respond he will have it and you might just be setting yourself up for future scams. Delete the message and move on.

Since we're on the topic of scams:
http://www.craigslist.org/sby/car/117496383.html
is actually
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-Cobra-SVT-V8-DOHC-5sp-TX-35kmils-FreeShipW-BUYNOW_W0QQitemZ4591832853QQcategoryZ6236QQcmdZViewItem
The person sent me this message:
Hi there!
Thank you for your interest regarding my 2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra. I emailed you to let you know that the car is still available. I had a buyer offering $8,000 but his loan did not get approved.
I am selling the car for $7400; the price includes all the shipping costs and insurance so you won't have to pay any extra charges. The 2001 Ford Mustang is located in Sugarland, TX and it looks like new, it has never been scratched or wrecked. It will come with a clear title, bill of sale signed by me as well and all the papers (including the original manuals and keys) that you will need to register it under your name. I want to sell it because we need the money to finish our new house, so I'm willing to let it go for 7400 bucks First come, first served.
About the payment method I will only accept an escrow service because it's the safest way for both of us. The escrow is a third party that holds your money until you receive and approve the car. Also, you will have 3 days for inspecting it at your home and if you agree to keep the car, I will receive the money. If you agree with these terms, please reply me and I will be more than glad to provide you with further information on how to purchase the Ford Mustang ASAP.
Also, I've attached a few pictures of the car and here is the car's description: Ford Mustang SVT Cobra, Year: 2001, Miles: 35.800, Title: Clear, Exterior: White, VIN Number: 1FAFP47V61F244142
Best Regards,
Virginia E Hanner
