Help me figure out Craigslist scam

[Gray Rider]

Posted a truck, toolboxes and an old table saw on Craigslist for the first time this weekend and have received e-mails on the boxes and saw from two different people saying they want the items. They both asked for my name, address, one of them specifically asked for physical and not PO Box address, and cell phone number. Both said they were paying with money order and offered to pay me more than I asked to hold it for them. Neither asked about the condition of the items or called them by name; i.e. "toolboxes", "saw". Both said they would arrange for pickup after the MO's cleared.

I know they're not legit but can't figure out what their scam is, one mentioned wanting my cel phone number so I could receive texts. Anyone know what they're trying to get. Also the English in one was just off enough to make me believe they're foreign.

The MO's are fake. They want you to cash them, then guilt you into returning the money to them. Just press delete...

Thanks, that makes sense.

Yup. A notorious scam, but so last year. No, make that year before last.
