sounds like a scam to me. some a hole i knew at my old job got ripped off after he shipped his $2800. 14k gold chain to romania where some guy bought it off him on ebay and the romanian guy made a fake escrow website he was ripping people off from.

what they do is they send a pretty good fake check to you. The check will most likely come from nigeria. You cash it send the money through western union, the check comes back no good and you get stuck with the bill. Like i said its fun to ---- with them, tell them you had a problem with western union and you dont trust them. Then tell them your going to send it ups, let a few days go buy and tell them to pick it up @ the local ups store. They will say its not there and tell them its funny how they tried to scam you but you have them looking for an imaginary package

I highly doubt you could actually cash it, and even if you did they would have your picture on every police station computer screen in a matter of hours.......but it's worth a shot.
