    Please be advised that in July 2006, this fellow's new scam is to target sellers on Craig's List and purports that his secretary made a mistake and sent a check for too much money for your transaction and that you should send the excess back to him at western union.

    Same e-mail address.

    Complaints have been registered with Yahoo, Craig's List, and FTC.
