Offered $20 more than asking for a craigs list item, sent bogas check for $2000 extra wanted me to "western union extra funds" back to him. Would have his "mover" pick up the item

I was selling an item on the Kalamazoo, Michigan Craigs list. I left an email address for contact information. John responded that he wanted to purchase the item. He offered $80 more than the asking price because he really wanted it. He asked for my contact information so he could send me a certified check. The next email was that I needed to contct him when I received the check and he would send his "mover" to pick up the item. The next email, his assistant sent too much money.

I was to keep an additional $100 for my time and Western Union the extra back to him. I received a check via FedEx for $2,000 more than the sale price. The check was form Scottsdale Insurance Company, in Scottsdale, AZ. The sender on the FedEx slip was Univ of Mail Services, 1100 L Street, NW room 9020, Washington, DC. The check contained the name Huntington Natinal Bank. There is a Huntington National Bank where I live. I brought the check to the bank and they verified the check contained a non-existing account number.
