All good info, I guess I could sense it was way funny but it was a bit different from the scams I saw when I was advertising apts. for a former client. Those also had the 'ship to a third party' angle but they all went with the "oops, my secretary made the check for $8000 instead of $3000" routine.

I must be getting soft that I didn't immediately catch the 'item' thing. Neither e-mail mentioned the product by name or type, just 'item.'
