Need some help here peeps.
Now I've been selling IT kit on ebay since the end of 2000, with no real major probs until now.
sold an item on ebay tonight for £250 ,sent the normal invoice , checked my mail and have recieved this message from the winning bidder.

Dear Seller,
Thanks for the mail,i am o.k with your price.Inrespect of payment i
have a client in the U.K who is owing me £3,500.All i need to do to make
payment easier and faster is to instruct him to procure a banker's
cheque and mail it to you on the address and name you want on the cheque and
you know it takes 24hrs for a banker's cheque to clear in the U.K.But i
would want to know if i can trust you to send my balance to me via
western union money transfer after the money must have cleared in your bank
to enable me prepay the shipping company here so that they can come
and pick the Storage untranet director from your location.Please mail me
asap to enable me arrange payment.

Furnish me with your Full name,address,postal code and phone number so
my client will send the payment to you.

Thanks.


PS: I am ready yo compenmnsate you with an additional £50 to have the
ad remove from the internet.



Now I look out for most of the scams going on regarding ebay but this seems like a new one to me, any thoughts on wether this is genuine or not.
If it is a scam, this is a new one on me.
