I received this same message from a craigslist user with the WV #. I didn't trust the posting anyway; too many errors in the text, as well as wanting to add aditional money for shipping. I just wish there were other places to report such happenings.
He's still at it, didn't do a search on 1st email now wish I would have:

Hello,
The check was mailed with the sum of $2700 to cover cost of the
wedding dress and also shipment through Express Mail Delivery (EMS OF
USPS).The amount i placed with my company is a refund for a canceled
order and been a refund it can only be written on a single check so
that is why i want you to receive these amount and send the difference
to the bride for her wedding dress and also booking of receptions hall
for engagement/wedding before the wedding date. I am in no rush with
you.Once the bank verify and cash the check you will deduct your fund
and send the excess fund to the bride via Western union then ship the
item via Express Mail Delivery (EMS OR USPS).Here is the address for
the shipping:
Elmuti Bukrym
1448 Calgary Way
Bowling Green, KY 42101
To trust a total stranger is a very difficult task in life but i am
putting my trust in you as this is the only last chance for the bride to
book for the reception hall and also make other wedding preparation....
Ha Ha Ha ....I posted my dress on C.L last week and got this e-mail the next night...
