Am I paranoid? I listed a car seat on craigslist and I got this reply:

"Thank you for getting back with me

I just want to make sure i am going to buy the same which i am looking for.
I can't afford another mistake as i did in the past.
Please check the video and confirm that it's the same u have.

PLAY VIDEO

If its the same one I will be there today to buy it

Thanks "


the first e-mail said this:
"you still offer? "


It is very non-specific and I think I should not click on the link- is that paranoid of me?

I did a search online for one of those lines from the e-mail and it appears that others are getting the same e-mail for different craiglists ads. It is spam so don't respond.

Worse than average spam--probably a fishing scam--scammers looking to either gather personal info off of your computer from your log-in info to their site (or there are other, more insiduous ways) or to engage you & convince you that they want the seat and you can return their "overpayment".

Don't click. Just hit delete on the whole thing.

I get horrible spam attempts from all of my craigslist postings. I require anyone that emails me to list a local phone #. and state in my post if they don't and I can't verify they are local, I won't respond to their email.
