The BIG clues that it is a scam... Terrible use of the English language Requests for excessive personal information NO mention of the actual item involved Too many details Too complicated Involvement of a third parties (the mover, the account officer)

It's scam. He's going to send you a check for more then what you want and ask you to cash it and send him the difference. In about a week, the check will bounce.

It's a scam, I get those all the time when I try to sell something on craigslist.

This is a very notorious con that craigslist specifically warns you against! Do not reply. Delete this email urgently.

Just by reading the first sentence, I would be extremely skeptical of his reply. The fact that he wants to overnight you a certified check which they want you to attempt to cash is a bad sign. I had this happen on ebay. I received a check in the mail and attempted to cash it and it turned out to be fraudulent. I would say steer clear of this deal.
