I had a PDA posted on craigslist, but the replies I've gotten from the person seem fishy. Attached is all of our correspondence, as well as a supposed email from USPS about a money order transfer (this doesn't look official to me, especially since there is a spelling error in it. What do you think?)

It also seems strange to me that the USPS would use an email from Mail.com
LAST EMAIL
Hello,
i have just gotten an approval email notification from USPS that my payment for your item has been approved so all you got to do now is to get the package ready for shipping, i will be sending you a fed-ex pre-paid shipping label which you will affix the package before its picked up from you but before that,i will like to know the lbs (weight) of the package so that i can forward the shipping label to you and also for you to copy the tracking number on the label and send it to their customercare department @ [email protected] for verification.
I will be waiting to hear from you soonest so that Fed-ex can pick it up today from you. Please ensure that its packaged properly cause i have to pay an extra fee to USPS for them to procees my payment fast.
Thanks

$150 sounds good, postal money order is fine.

This is a copy of an email I sent to someone else in regards to the condition of the iPaq:
It is in very good condition. There is a slight wear
and couple scratches on the back.. There is a small
(approx 1/4 millimeter) scratch on the screen, but it
is also not noticeable. The casing has no wear or
scratches on the front. Theres a small (1/4-1/2mm)
scratch by the headphone jack. The iPaq 2215 had a
problem with all of them in that the side grips didn't
want to stay on. I contacted HP and they sent me
replacement grips which I installed myself (they were
easy to install), and have stayed on since. I also got
a new battery cover with the grips, so I'm pretty sure
I still have an extra of that. Hmmm...I'm trying to
tell you everything I know or can
see about it, and I
think that's it. The battery still holds a very good
charge (I don't see any difference between now and
when I bought it). All my information is cleared out
of it. It has the newest ROM update. The USB cradle
for it is in good shape and works fine. I still have
the original cd and documentation for it.
I bought this for around $400 a couple years back,
used it for a year, and then I bought a 17" Laptop,
and I never used it since then. It's been sitting in a
drawer.
