Wrap it all up with his IP in the e-mail header tracing back to starcomms.net (google it) and you got a pretty piss poor attempt at phishing IMO.

Thought I would share this in case there are some techs that hear from this clown... especially those that may be in Detroit area.

I had a similar email a while back. Followed it far enough to have them FedEx overnight me a check for about 2000 dollars. I was to cash it and then wire 1400 to someplace to ship the laptops to me. I said... um no..

At least they were out the cost of a overnight letter.

Usually this is what they do:

1. They make the email offer (as above)
2. They send you a check, for more then the agreed price. Lets say the total was $3000, they send $3500
3. You deposit check
4. As soon as you deposit, they contact you saying they accidentally over paid, can you send the extra $500 back. Meanwhile the check is still clearing
5. You send over $500, a couple of days later the original check bounces.

You are now out $500
