Possible Craig's list scam

[Krysics]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana

I was offered 650$ for my laptop on craigs list and I thought it was all great but they are wanting to pay through money request on paypal not only that it is a Birthday gift for there COUSIN. Who pays 650$ for there cousin and not only that but you can buy a new version of my laptop for 700$. My main concern is that it is a scam where they are going to take a part out of it and sue me for selling a product that wasn't quite what I said it was. Is there anything I can do to insure that this doesn't happen?

Walk away.

If it looks like a scam, smells like a scam, and walks like a scam, then its a scam.
