I am in the process of moving, but desire your item. If you send me your name and address, I will send you a cashier's check for double the amount of your item. Please cash the check and give the excess to my movers, who will be picking up the item and bringing it to me, for their payment.

Anyone suspicious about this, or is it just me? There has been a rash of this stuff in the newspapers lately. It is a variation of the old africa scheme to get your bank accounts to withdraw instead of depositing money to you.

Anyone ever experience this?

I haven't experienced this but know of it.
Scammers are everywhere!

Caveat Emptor!
