Yes, i received one of those messages exactly as you have copied it here, and i deleted it without response. i think it is a highly suspicious email probably sent out to everyone who has placed an ad in this website. I think people should beware and not reply to that message and give out such personal information requested, i.e. full name and address and valid phone number. That email is strange and bizarre. i would call it a "Spam" email.
Happy Holidays !!

I received an email from this same person regarding an item I was selling on Craigslist (not a dog related item). My add was for a cash only transaction, and when I pointed it out, he never replied. Definitely a scam.

I've been getting the same formatted emails from craigslist...so be careful they all are scams!! I went to cash two checks and it was fraud. I took them to the police station and its under investigation now.
