The address doesn't exist and I found others that had the same exact e-mail but with a different phone number. Beware.
I had my wedding dress posted as well, and he sent the same message to me. he said he was sending me a 2500.00 dollar check and I would take my cut and then western union the rest to a priscilla bukry 1448 calgary way Alex, OK 73002. I called the police because I knew it was a scam but they said they couldn't do anything because it wasn't local and the FBI wouldn't take the case for a mere 2500.00. that is krap that I can't catch this guy. because what if I did cash the check. I would be in a world of trouble. I guess, if It sounds to good to be true it is!! watch out for this one. and remember what goes around comes around.
