I almost fell for this too! I am so glad I found this site.
I was going to buy a MacBook listed on craigslist in Mississippi. I emailed about it and the reply came back that she was in school in the UK and has the computer with her. I responded to the listing the day after it was listed, so why would she list it, then run off to Liverpool the next day?
She reponded again with the exact message listed above, "Obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal..." Well, the link she gave to "royalmailoffice.com/transactions" looks legit and even mirrors over to the actual Royal Mail site (royalmail.com) when you take off the "/transactions" part. But, the fact that the domain is different looked fishy. Not to mention the typos and grammatical errors on the transaction site.
