So I've had the Camaro posted on CL for about a week and a half now and haven't received much response as of yet, aside from the usual "would you trade for (insert boring, automatic, fwd sedan worth about $1500)." This morning, I got the following:
Craigslist Guy said:
uncle is interested in your listing .
he asked me to get your name and email so he can get back to you .
please type and send your email address .
I'm wary, seems like a generic copy and paste response designed to open the door to my inbox to a vast fleet of paddle driven small water craft, most likely launched from China. But I'd also hate to turn away a potential seller. Thoughts?
Almost certainly phishing, but if you're desperate for a sale and want to roll the dice there's no harm in giving a fake name and a throwaway email. Sometimes the attempted scam that follows is amusing enough to be worth the trouble anyway

Id respond "Which listing? I have several."
If they don't know it's for a Camaro (or Camero), then it's spam.
Not desperate, but I'd really like the thing gone sometime before winter, so I can go shopping when cheap Miatae are in peak season. I think I like SVreX's idea, thanks guys!
Well, if the "uncle" wanted your email, that would seem to imply he has enough internet savvy to use craigslist, so I'd say scam. If he'd requested a phone# I'd be concerned it's a scam, but at least it would have a quasi-legitimate reason.

Ask them which one, then send them a picture of a Mustang. Should be interesting either way.
If the nephew can contact you via the anonymous CL provided email in the ad, then so can the uncle. Don't respond and move on.
They want your real email so they can send a fake email later from "your provider" saying something is wrong with your account. Don't bother replying.
Yeah, seems like he's trying to get the message out of the Craigslist system so they can't be reported.
