This is what he tried to pull with me, luckily my neighbor is a police officer and knew of the scam. Below is the communication between us.
This is to let you know that the payment has been sent to you and it will be delivered to you soon. As soon as you receive it, take it to your bank and cash it immediately, deduct your fund and the balance should be sent to my shipper through Western Union Money Transfer:
Shipper's Information:
First Name: Mark
Last Name: Brophey
Address: 1 Canal Walk, SE14 5QR, London, United Kingdom
I am aware that you would be charged to have the money sent through western union, whatever that would amount to, is to be deducted from the balance of the funds after you must have deducted your fund.
After sending it through western union, a number will be given to you called CONTROL NUMBER (MTCN) send the control number to me through my mail. I will await you reply containing the MTCN number and the amount sent in pound ().

Hello,
Thanks for your prompt response, I will be sending you US Cashiers Check worth of $3,650 which is cashable same day at your bank, its include the shippers charges and the Item charges. I have to use the BUY IT NOW option to prevent other buyers. I will like you to wire transfer the excess funds to the shipper after you must have cashed the payment in your bank so that they can come for the pickup of the item as soon as possible. If this is okay by you, Send me the name, address and telephone number where the US Cashiers Check will be mailed to you, hope to hear back from you as soon as possible. Also email me and let me know if you understand and I will make sure the payment is out with immediate effect. If you have any questions feel free to contact me through email. I will be waiting to read from you soon. Its a pleasure doing business with you.
Warmest Regards
