Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.

I received this email response after he replied to my posting on Craigslist. When I received the "check" via UPS it was for $1,700... not for the $45 I was asking for the item. He requested that I deposit the check into my account then forward the "remaining" portion of the money via moneygram to the guy who would be picking up the item. I immedately searched the web and saw this was a scam and also called the Colorado National Bank to comfirm that the check was fake. The assistant branch manager informed me that it was not a real check and that they have recieved similar calls. Any check "issued" by the Colorado National Bank that dualy lists Banker's Bank of the West on the check is a scam. The ploy is that you deposit the "check" into your account and then immediately forward the remaining money to the recipient. Since it's not a real check, no money will be deposited, so you are transfering your own money to the recipient (while also potentally disclosing your personal banking information). These are the emails I got from him:

Exact same emails, turning over to FBI as this is cross state transaction

Same exact thing, wording everything. Waiting for check to arrive, and will be turning it over to law enforcement per their request.
