Craigslist question

I would email the new email address. If it's a scam it'll become obvious from there. More than likely, you'll get some story about payment. That's when you'll know it's a scam.

Ask him if you can send a check for $10,000 in exchange for him giving you $1,000 cash and see what the response is ��

I put an item on CL. A guy responded saying he wanted to buy the item. He said he didn't respond thru CL emails. He gave me (his- who knows) email address to get a hold of him that way.
I'm a first time CL user. Scam or no scam?

If he doesn't do CL email , how did he get in touch with you?

[Quackerbox]

is it listed OBO and are you taking the best offer or the first one?

Do you mind taking one for the team and following through with the scam so we can see how this one works? I'm sure someone on here will pay you back

If I am not mistaken thru CL email. I told ya I am/was a CL virgin

Scam city.

Not worth the risk. Its your item and he can communicate how you choose to communicate.

X2, this is the way I see it too. You decide, not him.

[Evictor]

Not a scam, more of a hustle.
When they ask you to email them to another address they are fishing for your personal email. Once they have it they pass it along and usually sold in a list for advertising or other nefarious folks who will attempt to hack your email account or any other account associated with that email like PayPal or similar.
The craigslist email will hide your actual email.
Sad but same is true when asked for phone number also
