Its a well-known scam. The check he will send you is a well-made fake. It will take a couple weeks to bounce. Meanwhile you will have wired the excess to the mover, who is really the scammer who sent you the bad check. Wired money clears instantly. When the paper check comes back you'll owe your bank the full amount, including what you sent the mover, plus a bounced check fee. The mover is the same scammer who mailed you the bad check. He will keep the money you wired him.
i have an ad on Craigs' List, this scam person sent a text saying he is deaf & would i accept a cashiers check, i said yes if he was to mail it, then this person went on about having a mover come & the funds could be deducted from the mover
