Default Thought I would share a classic scam with you guys

Thanks for the reply,
I am okay with details given on the unit,am ready to pay $200,I will like you to know that am purchasing this for my client..The payment method will be by certified cashiers check drawn from a U.S bank.I will be solely responsible for the shipping of the unit. The check that will be send to you will include the shipping fee,all you need to do is to get the check deposited at your bank after the check have fully cleared your bank,You will have to deduct the fees for the sales of your item and you will send the remaining funds through western union money transfer to the shipping agent information that will be provided for you later on the course of this transaction..Hope i can trust you with this funds? If you are okay with the following terms,i will like you to get back to me with your full name and contact address,including your phone number for the immediate payment issuance.

If you ever see anything like this, ITS A SCAM!!!!!!
I just replied I only accept money order or paypal, I'll probably never hear from him again

see, this isn't the sad part, the sad part is that most people that aren't very technology savy will probably fall for this.
