Lots of questions or text is an immediate sign of a scam.
Definitely a scam or phishing attempt of some sort.

Okay so I got an email from this guy about my craigslist listing but I think hes trying to rip me off.
Him:
"Asking price?? Email.......(Email address)"
*Side note: I have the price on the listing so this kind of threw me off..Also the email the was in the first message is different from the email he ask me reply to.
Me:
"The asking price is $998 for everything. And I just got a R9 290 this morning in the mail, so I if you want that its only another $459. So for everything plus the R9 290 the price is $1457. I still have the Box for the R9 290, I literally just got it this morning from UPS."
Him:
"Thanks for the prompt response to my mail. I will be buying from you so
please kindly withdraw the advert from C.LIST. Please be informed that i
will be paying with a Money Order or Cashier Check from my Bank it will be
delivered to you via United Parcel Service
(UPS) or FedEx , Also, last price you're willing to sell for . So I'll need
you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the mailing
of the check...
Name to be on the payment...........
Home address...........
City..............
State...........
Zip Code..............
Cell phone #................
I will make arrangements for the pick up as soon as you have your money I
am completely satisfied with the advert and the payment will be delivered
within 24hours.** I use a hearing impaired phone # and will receive your
calls via email **
N.B UPS/FedEx does not deliver to a P.O box addresses.Thanks"
*Side note This is my first time to sale something on Craigslist but I'm pretty sure your meant to meet in a public place with cash and do it like your going to a store.
