Who called from 2064260754

Same e mail, same scam. What is his game? No one in thier right mind would give this guy thier boat or $6-7K before the Cashire's check is good and the dough was done. I've heard of similar scams from Africa about cashing checks, kicking back part and keeping the rest but as stupid as that is, this is dumber!

Anybody tried to play along and catch up this guy?

I just received the same exact email:
