Hi yeah this is a very clever scam that's going on at the moment..don't fall for it..don't let them know your address, as the cheque may clear temporarily then the bank realise later that it is a fake cheque and u end up paying for it!!! If the guy was sincere he would pay cash on collection in all honesty.
