Moving often means getting rid of some stuff. An Omaha woman turned to the Web before she moved, but one online offer is raising some red flags.

Sheila Mauer is packing up her belongings, taking items to her new apartment, but a few things around her place aren't making the cut. Sheila sells quite a few things on Craigslist. This time she was trying to get rid of a few pieces of furniture before her move.

"I was trying to sell a large computer hutch desk." She immediately got an offer on Craigslist and the buyer promised to pay her $110, the full asking price. "He was going to send a cashier's check and wanted my name, address. He was going to send a mover then to pick up the item.”

Craigslist warns sellers to never accept a cashier's check. Once you cash it, if it comes back as fake, you will be responsible to pay your bank back the full amount.

Also avoid buyers who claim they can't meet face to face before the transaction. In Sheila's case this alleged buyer couldn't meet and was sending movers instead.

Sheila did get a legitimate offer the next day, which is why she's now using her coffee table as a computer desk. But she followed Craigslist's advice and sold it to a local college student.

"He looked at it, said I want it, took it apart, handed me the money and that was it. We were good to go."
