Sounds like the same guy that contacted me about buying one of my kites for $150. He used the name Peter Reiss. He said he would send a cashiers check and to cash it at one of the check cashing places and not to deposit it in my account. That tipped me off that he was up to something. He kept e-mailing me about whether I received the check. I also received another e-mail from his "shipping agent". I got fed up with his games and told him the deal was off. About 3 weeks later I received a counterfeit cashiers check for $1,900 from the First Credit Union in Tempe, Arizona. There was nothing to trace the envelope or check to him. I never heard from him again. He was probably waiting for me to tell him that he overpaid me and then he would tell me to send the difference to him. Typical Nigerian scam.
