I have a $500 tank for sale on Craigslist. Was just texted the below fishy sounding message from an Arizona area-code number. Does this sound like a scam?
(After first texting me asking if the aquarium was still available)
"Hi,Am glad it's available, I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I'm sure you will get in about 2 to 3 business days. I'll add $50 extra for the delay. I'll pay by CASHIER CHECK, Pls let me know where to send your payment i wont want to loose it to someone else so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and NOTEI will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment). Awaiting your info. Thanks Steve."

I replied saying "Hello Steve. Are you located locally?"
And he wrote back: "i would have prefer meeting with cash but am a busy man, am heading a project which takes most most of my time, thats why am adding $50 extra for the delay, so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address) so payment can be mailed out immediately"
