Yep. Best to completely ignore such scams.

If wanting to do something, click the report bad post button and let CraigsList handle it from there...

Messing with scammers is risky ... not just in the obvious ways (ie. threats, violence, id theft, etc), but also in the aspect that human psychology is of such that all people are capable of being scammed under the right conditions...

To digress a bit, telemarketers / sales people take advantage of mental flaws / urges that exists in everyone ... the more time one interacts with a sales person, the more likely the individual will be enticed / convinced to buy something ... similar goes with scammers - more one interacts with a scammer, the greater likelyhood of being scammed.
