Damn Dude, that story sounds awfully too familiar to me. God you got lucky. I was told a very simliar story to that one. Good thing you passed it up. I am still in conversations with the FBI over this crap and it happened last week. I glad that people are starting to be aware of these scams now. and Just for your information, these scams are originating out of Nigeria and South Africa, but the people are saying or pretending to be from Europe. If anyone ever receives a check by Fed_Ex couriour from Nigeria or S. Africa turn it in. I Actually called the issuing bank from the check and the money was there to cover the check, making me think this deal was good. Well it turned out the the account and money were good, but the check number was never issued. They are stolen checks from U.S. citizen accounts. The unfortunate thing is that the Nigerian and S.African Governments do not support the U.S. so they won't help the FBI track down these people, and we loose our money. Take care bro and thanks for writting, hopfully we can help some other people out too.
