Every post on Craigslist has the following information at the top of the page :
Avoid scams and fraud by dealing locally! Beware any deal involving Western Union, Moneygram, wire transfer, cashier check, money order, shipping, escrow, or any promise of transaction protection/certification/guarantee.
For future reference, anytime anyone you don't personally know requests that you send money via Western Union or Moneygram, you are being scammed. Scammers know that these funds are untraceable. It's equivalent to handing cash to a stranger on the street.
