Hahaha. Yea they are all over they have been on ebay awhile, Your lucky that this Is the first time they picked you. But yea just dont trust them .
I've gotten these before & reported them to ebay. Basically, they're trying to get your address & phone number so they can try hacking into your ebay & paypal accounts. Report whoever sent this to you...is my advice.
Tell him you want him to go first! "I would like YOU to send me your name and address and phone number FIRST and then send your check!" hehehehe
Hahaha, I got one kinda close a while ago! They said they wanted one of my items for a wedding gift for a friend. They offered to send me extra money in the check or money order and wanted me to put "cash" inside the vase they purchased and then wanted me to send it out of the country to the people who were on their honeymoon. They offered to send me like 50 bucks extra for my trouble, and then wanted me to send them what ever change was left over in the shipping they sent me to be sent back to them through pay pal. I was thinking about it, but it almost seemed like they were starting to harrass me to get me to do it. I reported them and the next thing I know they were no longer a registered user any more.
