Play along with it!
I did when I was selling my ps2 on ebay.
they sent me a similar email so I said go ahead, send me the details.
then I had a shipping doc to stick on the box and I had to drop it off to a ups depot, by this time I had the persons name and address and another email address.
As soon as I got this I emailed them saying I was from the FBI and now we have all your details to expect someone knocking on their door very shortly!!!

I've gotten things like too and just wonder how many people actually fall for these? I have always realized these were scams, although i had one that looked like an official website for money transfer but the person was very shaddy so i called the company and asked them about it, it turned out it was a fake. You just can't trust anyone on the net these days.

craigslist should only be used for in person transactions.

I always meet people at the K-mart down the street
