Could be a SCAM?!
I posted a projector I have on the Tulsa and Oklahoma city Craigslist the other day, and recieved a reply from a guy wanting to but the projector. Here is the emails that we have exchanged so far his response makes me think that he is trying to scam me what do you all suggest I should do.
Original email from him:
Hello,
I want to let you know that i would want to buy this item fromyou. Please email me your firm price if you still have it.
Thanks
Reply from Me:
Yes I still have it, I would like to stay at a firm price of no less than $3750 it is a very nice projector. If you would like the screen also ill throw it in for $150 more.
Let me know if we can work something out.

Response from him:
Hello Jeff,
Please Understand me.
I am from Wisconsin and also a Football Coach residing in London .Am still in State now for break, but will soon be leaving back to England to resume work.
The Projector is for my wife's birthday present that traveled to continue work where she was transfered with the US consulate office in West Africa, she is the chief accountant .
I'll be paying you through Storm-pay Online Money Order. it's secure and protects two parties in a transaction. I will like you to provide the below requirements in your reply for me to send it to storm-pay Office for payment before you ship it.
