same thing as this happened to a friend of mine out in Chicago. I think the check was for 5000 though. As far as i know he has it tacked up on his wall.

I almost fell victim to a craigslist scam myself. I responded to a bunch of job classifieds. I got an email from someone with a link to a website to fill out an "application". Except the website was obviously just a shell with no real content. And the company doesn't exist. I did a whois and realized the domain belongs to someone in Russia.

Was temped to fill out a bunch of fake info and email him back to see how far the scam would go. But really it's not worth the time. Just move on and let the scammers find a new victim.
