This is a craigslist scammer looking to send a cashier's/certified check for a purchase. They might add money to the check and say "reimburse me" for the extra to get that amount of money from you or they might just take your delivered item. The check will bounce after a couple weeks and your bank will hold you responsible for this amount. Avoid this person at all costs.

What name did they use? I was given the name Rose for the person on this line and a guy named Mike on another phone line. Curious if they are using various aliases or not.
This person is a piece-of-[***] Craigslist scammer. All contact with this number was through text messaging so I have no voice reference. They act like they want to purchase something from you then send a check for way more than your asking price, of which this extra amount is supposed to be wired through Western Union to some shipping company who will be picking up your items. This is all a scam. The check is fraudulent and won't clear through your bank. Don't fall for this persons [***] tricks. They also called from this number: 239-257-4961, the guy had a thick Indian accent and was difficult to understand. See my full rant under the posts for this second number for the whole rundown on the circumstances.
Got hit by this scammer as well. They tried to get our roofing company to do a roof. The man said he was under going cancer treatments at this time. What a real piece of work.
