100% Scam all the way...
You post out the goods and return the difference from your good-funds
account, then a week later your bank tells you that the GBP3000 cheque (I
hope I spelled that right) has no sufficient funds, and when you check with
your buyer, he's long gone.... and he has your G2 and your money!
Insist on a good payment of the correct amount. If that cheque is any good,
the current travelin' man holder can get cash for it himself... why should
-you- be his banker...?!
