There is a scam going on craigslist with cameras for sale that is made to look legit. The basis is a widow is trying to sell her dead husband's camera. Current camera advertised as Canon 5D mark ii. See details here: http://www.antiscammers.org/linda-bernard-scammer-canon-5d-mark-ii/ . The scam has been reported at many craigslist sites in many cities.

Always remember if somebody sends an 'Ebay' invoice from an address that does not have Ebay AFTER the @ symbol - its a scam.

I have reported the email address to hotmail. Hopefully they will shut it down. Antiscammers.org is a resource to check if you suspect you are being scammed.

Nothing new. Craigslist is the mecca of scammers, always has been. Just flag them and move on, lots of good stuff can be found there at times.
