I fell for it.
A person (in my case a "daughter": Kyle Shinyoung) will contact you and said her father is going to contact you to buy the item (the "father" DrTarran Ramcharitar drcharantaram@att.net)
This is the dad's phone: 3203484623
The dad will insist on sending you the check, prior of you sending the items.
This would be the third post reporting the scam on SUPOST these are the links to the other ones:

"5. Cashier check scams
Craigslist check scams are really easy to see and avoid: a buyer offers to send you a cashier’s check to pay for something, but they want you to send it before the payment arrives. If you do send it, the check will either never arrive, or it’ll be fake.
While it might seem difficult to fake a cashier’s check, it’s actually pretty easy. If the seller wants to pay by check, tell them the item won’t be shipped until the payment clears. Don’t be surprised if they get pushy or back out of the sale — it probably means that they were trying to commit check fraud.
Signs to look out for:
The buyer says they are in a different area and will send a check.
The buyer asks you to ship the item before you receive payment.
What to do if you suspect this scam:
Don’t send anything before payment is received and cleared.
Report the scammer to Craigslist and the authorities."
