The way that email is, I bet you that it is a scam, so don't even bother wasting time on it. instead, flag it so these sobs can't continue.

I inquired on a bike on Craigslist about 2 months ago and got the same exact response, nearly verbatim.

I replied to a nice bike on Craigslist and they guy said that he lives in Montana. I lied to him and told him that I was just out of the Army and one of my fellow soldiers in my platoon lives in Boseman (about 20 miles from where the scammer said he lived). I said I would have my buddy show up and pick it up directly from him with CASH. Of course I didn't get a reply email from him, nor did I expect one. (I was just bored that day and decided to screw with someone....)

Always beware of any ads that don't have a phone number or city listed.
