    What do you mean, Thank God? HAHAHAHAHA!! You mean you actually had to do research first to figure out this was a scam? I've gotten that same email word-for-word every time I tried to sell something on CL. Some stranger says they want to pay you with a check and needs to know your bank information – you made it sound like you were considering it.Like I said before, no sympathy for stupidity. Anyone dumb enough to fall for any of this CL nonsense gets what they deserve.
