PS2
So I placed an ad to sell my PS2. I've gotten several inquires, but nothing definate. I got an email from this guy from England who wants to buy it...
Here is one of his e-mails:
Thanks for the Information.you'll be recieving your
payment as soon as possible through my associate
who's in US. I'll instruct him to issue out an
american fund cashier's check in your name the total
amount he his owing me on our last transaction which
is closed at $4000 You'll receive it as soon as
possible, Immediately you get this check i want you to
take it to a cashing centre nearest to you, cash it
and deduct your $270 for the {playstation) and and
you'll wire the remainning balance to the shipping
agent in Nigeria through Western Union Transfer. For
them to come for the pickup in your place without
giving you any stress. They will use the fund to
settle some customs problem and transport their self
down to your location with immediate effect. Let me
know if this is ok with you... send me your full
name,home adress, city, state, country, zipcode and
phone number both home and mobile

I was pretty suspicious. After further e-mail exchanges, I talked to him on Yahoo:

baldwinwill1 : just give me answer to my question
soltarivx: I'm a bit uncomfortable receiving a check of $4000.
soltarivx: I would cash the check at my bank.
baldwinwill1 : even if you are not to sell me anything can u cash a check for $3000 at a cashing outlet ?
soltarivx: Why couldn't I cash at my bank?
