I actually bought a duplex myself a bit over a year ago. I just discovered your blog, and I love it! I got one of these craigs list scam mails when I put an ad up for my place as well. I knew what kind of scam it was so I played along. I wanted to get the check to see how good it was. It was a fake cashiers check like you said. Drawn off a Maryland bank! of course it has a noticeable correction for the spelling of "Hundred"... but oh well. These scams do work very well. The reason is time. A cashiers check drawn off an out of state bank, like the one I received, would likely take about 4 months to be "found out". Nice write up! I actually bought a duplex myself a bit over a year ago.
