Scam! When i put my bmw 540 up for sale it was the same e-mail address that e-mailed me and the same story. Well... almost the same. (in his story he mentioned that the cashier's check was made to cash from his client)
Tell him that since it's a cachier's check. Have him cash the check, then wire money into your account for the exact amount of the sale.
I tried that, and i never heard from him again.
Coincidentally. When i posted me resume for a job offer. I was offered a job to cash checks. They came up with this big story about how they are a european based company with american clients and that when they receive payments, it takes 60 days for them to get money from their banks in europe. He said that the company needed quick cash flow. So, my job was to deposit the check from the vendors, and wait until the check clears. Then minus my 10% commission, wire the money western union. They said that i would be doing 10-15 transactions a month and that the checks would be in amount of $4000-$15000.
Of course me being nieve. I took the offer and the first check came via FEDEX overnight. (which i thought made it even more legit).
Anyways... i was lucky because the "fake" check that they counterfeited from a company was the same bank that i banked at. So the bank caught it in 1 day.
But... Anytime a transaction has to do with Western Union. It's 99% a scam!
