New (to me, anyway) Craig's List scam

[My name is Mudd]

I've got a gig bag up on our CL, and got a message from 'Cynthia'...

"I'm very intrigued in this but just before I purchase it I need to know if its the same one I'm hunting for because I can't afford a second mistake Please make sure to check out this footage here I uploaded and let me know

/play.php?pid=dsa1e5fas5yui4op&?name=#words#_specia l_products-forall (<<< that's supposed to be a link to a video 'she' wants me to download)

If its the same one I will be there today to buy it
Thanks a lot."

...this one (the message, not the vid) I've not seen before, but Google knows about it, somewhat...anyone else have this happen? I'm curious about what the vid actually is, but not enough to download it.

My mother got the same nonsense last week trying to sell an old kitchen table via Craigslist. From "Cynthia" no less.

I doubt "Cynthia" is trying to get a gigbag in California and a kitchen table from Massachusetts, though

Thankfully my mother called me at work and asked if she should click the link before actually trying it.

Yeah, I would have been skeptical of that reply immediately! Who posts a video of a gig bag instead of a photo?

Thanks for the heads up! I wish they had a better success rate tracking down these punks!

That was one reason for putting this up, and you're welcome.

Google seem to think the vid may just be someone's video commercial, but still...I'm not trusting a blind link.
