Classified scam?

Dave Wermuth

Who hid my paddle?
"Michael Moore" has sent me an email offerring to buy an item I have on Classifieds. He also offerred to buy an item of my friend, for about $2500.00 more than he is asking. that kinda scam.. Anyone else getting that line? I wish I knew how to report the turkey.
 
He contaced me too. Seems he wanted to pay $3500 more than my asking price by a (fake) Western Union moneygram and wanted me to refund him the difference.

Duh. I thought this scam was dead but apparently there are con men that haven't heard that everyone knows about this one
 
I've recceived 2 more very suspicious emails. One from Kevin Nash : Hello ,
