Watch Out For This Scam

I've listed 2 items for sale on this site in the last month, and both times I've received this scam. Be on the look out for this crap:

"I want you to know that i very much intrested in the (sampler) which is $500 US and Once again mode paymentis going to be a Cashier's Check. You will sent by a Client of mine who has been woing me some amount and has said that he his only going pay me via Cashier's Check, So dedcided to send you the Check since the Check will be drawn from a US bank and i am from Isreal.The Check is in the Amount of $2,700 US. So when you recieve the Check all you have to do is to Cash the Check and forward the remaining funds to Shipping Company and here is there e-mail address which i will email you later..
As per Shipping i will handle the Shipping i have Shipping Company that will take care of that, When the Check has been recieved and cashed, all you need to do is to deduct your selling price and send the remaining excess fund to the Shippingg
Company via account i will provide you late . The Information to send the funds to them via Western Union will be given to you upon recieve of the Check. So for the little stress you will go thorugh sending the funds and Cashing it i will
compesate you with 100 US. MeanWhile, for the Check to get to you i will want you to provide me with the
following information, Which of course i will forward to my Client :
1) THE NAME YOU WANT THE CHECK TO BEAR
2) THE ADDRESS YOU WANT THE CHECK SENT TO AND
3) YOU PHONE NUMBERS(HOME,CELL AND WORK)

With this i will expect to hear from you soonest today with these informations.

Thanks and God Bless Marry Xmas and Happy New......
