It is a fake, Scam. He scammed someone I know with this same kit. He told him he was from the ARMY and that he will only take WU cause his paypal account went bad due to someone paying with a fake credit card. He had a local Florida phone number at that time and my friend tried getting is address, but could not find anyone that worked for MetroPCS. Stay away and lets report this to ebay.
Most definitely a scam, the seller uses a pay as you go phone so he cant be easily tracked down.
I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH - NEVER EVER NEVER NEVER NEVER SEND MONEY TO SOMEONE VIA WESTERNUNION ULESS YOU KNOW THEM PERSONALY.
WU is the easiest way to scam someone because it is like putting your money in a brown paper bag and leaving it under the bridge. There is no way to ever find or hear from the individual again.
I have talked to this seller and have called him under different numbers and get a differeny story each time. I offered to meet him in person and he would always find a way to flake out and insisted that i WU him the money. He claims to be from the Keys, Miami, SC, Hollywood, FL. and other locations.
Fleebay buyers beware, WU Only = Scam!!!!!

My friend gave me the phone number of him here in Boca Raton in Florida. He picked up the money here in Miami, so he must live in Miami with a Boca Raton number. My friend an I will love to meet an catch this guy. The phone is under the alias name of Pablo Escobar and the phone number is 561-856-9092, but different people pick up the phone at certain time my friend says. I reported to ebay when I saw this up and my friend did as well.

I happen to know some people down there in Miami and if I go down there sometime in the near future I will give each of the 20 numbers I have a call, and then I will get my monies worth back.

Now that sounds like a legitimate name!
Maybe it's really him and he's not really dead!
