Classic scam. They send you "extra money", you give them change, the original payment fails, and you get nothing. They "keep the change".

scam! this is why i don't have a paypal anymore.. they do guarantee the money BUT the money comes from a false source.. paypal and the bank doesn't catch it before you receive the money and it clears to your bank account.. i got royally screwed on this and paypal held me responsible.. assholes

I get that scam a lot when I put something on CL for more than a couple hundred bucks. Got it when I was trying to sell my old Thunderbird.

I have reached the point where I turn off the ability to email me from craigslist. People only email dumb questions anyway (99% of them are answered in the ad, they are just lazy or illiterate). I put my phone number, and they have to call me if they are interested. That way I know they are real local people.
