This month yours truly has been working with the FBI to track Craigslist scam artist "Lauretta Coronado." This person has also posted scams under different names, but the IP address originates from the same location. Thanks to everyone who has supplied info, I will keep you all updated as this progresses.

Do they ever pick up the item?
I have received many emails from people inquiring as to whether or not these scam artists actually pick up the item. The answer is no, unfortunately they do not. Whenever you receive an email from someone claiming "their shipping company" is going to pick up the item, its a scam of some form. A reliable person would actually meet you, see the item for sale, and take it with them.
Scam Artists like Erike Ziukaite with an IP address of 41.222.40.54, which traces back to Nigeria, is a total fraud, and would prefer if you would remove the item from craigslist while she prints out a fake check for you to cash. Then she and the rest of the scamers that use this tactic will then ask you to send the remaining balance (they never can send the correct amount) to either them or "their shipping company" so the shipping company who just happens to be in your area the following day or week (or whatever BS they tell you) can pick up the item on the buyers behalf.
If you question this proceedure, you may even be contacted by "their shipping company," who somehow always uses a free email account like hotmail, gmail, or yahoo. "Their shipping company" may even try to pressure you into sending them money so they can pick up the item without delay. In reality there never is a real shipping, its a scam and if you send the scammer or "their shipping company" any money you will most likely never hear from either party again.
Beware of this tactic as it has been around for a long time now, yet people still fall for it.
