Greg thats the standard type of email you will get. There all over the net on classifieds.

The fraud says he/she wants to use 'western union' as the cheque thingy to, thats ALWAYS a dead give away that the person is trying to rip you off. Western union are really unsafe and allot of the crooks use them for that reason.

Just tell them to get fooked.

cheers, Nathan
