I am selling my laptop on craigslist and think I might be getting scammed?

I would send them a box with a cinder block in it to weigh it down coupled with a bunch of shit in it (human shit), but that's just me.

Wow, do you really need someone to tell you that it's a scam?

Why don't people just sell on ebay? Fees aren't that bad and less chance of being scammed. I've sold there numerous times and every single one went smoothly. Just don't reveal your email in your listing.

I got scammed on Ebay, but only for a $25 Walmart gift card. Guy had sold the same item like 7 times with all positive feedback. He never sent me anything, never responded to emails, Paypal still can't recover the money, and the guy is nowhere to be seen on Ebay. Seems like alot of work for $20.

They even got the scammer to have to shell out some money to pay for some shit.

Yeah, but the original seller is MIA...probably at the bottom of a lake somewhere- weird shit.

there is a website where "good guys" lead these scammers on and have them jump through every hoop imaginable, letting them believe they are in for a big payday. Does anyone know the one I'm talking about?

I think you're thinking of this site, some great stuff there, one guy got a scammer to send him a picture of himself with a loaf of bread on his head:

[FONT=&quot]This screams scam. A couple of tips, do not use Paypal and request a personal check. Wait until the check clears before you ship anything. Any offer that states they will pick the item up or to send the excess money via Western Union is a scam. What you can do for fun is give them the address and phone number for the local FBI office and director in your locality; thus they might hang themselves.
