This is virtually identical to what he sent you, save for changing the item in question. I replied that the ONLY payment I will accept is a wire transfer and would need his address and phone number. I never got a reply.

I have actually received cashier checks that looked like the real deal, but when I checked with who the supposedly came from they were clearly fraudulent. These scammers will NEVER agree to you contacting them by phone - law enforcement can track their location.
