Hello I have an item up for sale on the Register site. I am in email contact with a buyer, but it somehow doesn't seem right - odd use of English and other things. He (?) wants to pay by cheque, wanted my address & phone number, didn't want bank transfer. Anyhow, I have given my address and phone, he says he will sort the carrier. I then get a message saying the cheque will include the carrier fee? Is this the overpayment scam, collecting my details? The guys name is Chris Towne. Register member? "Thanks for the details sent . I will update you once i confirm the payment issued and sent to your mailing address later today. The shipping funds will be included on the payment . I will give you further directives on how to communicate with the carrier as regards the best time for the collection when cheque has cleared. I hope i can trust and confide in you. Reserve it for me alone , tell other buyers it is sold . ok I will keep you posted soon about the payment sent ." Adrian
