Hey All,
LOLS! Small friggin' world, this INTERWEB is...
Same here, I've been playing with this [***], and he's attempted to FEDEX me a phony-assed check from Denver. Sounds like John May (as he's known to me) has his fingers in more than a few pies..... Our email exchange, thus-far:
His initial query on my CL posting was:
Is this still available?

Hi John,
The item is still available! When would you like to have a look at
it? I will be available later this morning at the warehouse, if you
would like to see it then. Which area are you coming from? Give me
your phone number, and I'll call you with directions to our store.
Thanks for your interest,
Pete

Hiya John,
That sounds like the proverbial plan, stan... I know what you mean
about the internet scammers in their mud huts, in some god-forsaken
third-world [***]. I'm sure glad that YOU'RE not one.
I will end the ad immediately, and please expedite payment to me:

Once I receive your payment, I will advise you to send the shipping
company to make pickup of the item. We like to use DHL couriers.
May many minty pickles smile upon this most risky-free business
transaction in business dealings.
Looking forward to more business,
Your friend,
Peter
I have recieved your information as regards the payment

Good Day,
I have recieved your information as regards the payment,please delete the advert today as you await the arrival of my check.The check will cover the cost of shipment because the amount i placed with my company is a refund for a cancelled 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 differience to my shippers that will arrange the pick up when the check clears at your bank.My bank informed me the check should clear within two to five business days.Once your bank verify and clear the check you will deduct your fund $4000.and send the excess fund to the shipping company C.E.O Immediately so that they will proceed with pick up arrangement,though i have other goods to be picked up.
Thanks
check delivered!!!

Hello my dear friend John,
I ran that tracking number through FEDEX, and it came back as
'delivery attempted to incorrect address' and is on it's way back to
shipper. What address did you send it to? Let me know ASAP.
Thanks for giving us the business, in this risky-free opportunity for
great commerce.
Your dear friend,
Peter.
