Just in case anyone still thinks this might be legitimate, here is what the Better Business Bureau has to say: http://www.cleveland.bbb.org/misc/NewsDetl.asp?ID=56
*Bogus online auction purchase: People who have advertised an item for sale on the Internet are contacted by an interested buyer from Africa or another country, who sends a counterfeit cashier check or international money order for an amount much larger than the asking price. The explanation varies as to why the amount is that large. The seller is asked to deposit the check into their banking account, and wire the difference to the purchaser. Those victims who do not wait for the bank to verify the legitimacy of the check, and wire the money as requested, can end up losing thousands of dollars. It can take a week or more for banks to receive word that a check is fake.
