I just clicked on the link, and the ad has been 'flagged for removal'. It's a very common scam on Craigslist. My son was convinced that he had found the deal of the century --- a woman whose husband had left her and was about to lose her house was trying to sell a 2005 Silverado 4x4 for $5,000. Just send the money to a certain account, and she would arrange free shipping anywhere in the country. My son thought I was an untrusting a-hole when I told him it was a scam. Next day, he said, "Yeah, I looked into it, and I think it was a scam." Of course, he couldn't bring himself to say "You were right, Dad."
