Fake email from paypal telling of payment received then a letter from buyer asking if you can ship item fast.

if they are US based, chance is they will dispute the charge. Many times they will ask you to send the item USPS or UPS and select "wave the signature for delivery." That way the can claim it was never delivered. A lot of people are scammers out there. I just sold old my iPhone on CL last week and I must of got 50+ scam emails and maybe 2-3 real ones and i posted in a small CL area. With search tools and programs to mass email CL postings, it is easier for scammers than ever IMO. My NEVER ship anything you sell on CL. Meet in person and dont accept money orders. Why would someone make you take a personal check if they have the cash in their account? Make them take out the cash or go to their bank.
