Looks like a normal "want to buy" email. there had been some confusion on which individuals were still available so it went back and forth a couple emails to settle on...

The whole "client owing me money" etc. looks like the classic scam of sending the check for an amount over what is owed and wanting the overage back. next email was odd, IMO more of a stalling technique?

Good day,
Can you please send me your P.O.BOX address, because my client said USPS was unable to deliver the cashier check he sent to you, If you provide the P.O.BOX address payment will be sent to you same day

Same address I always use and told her so.
This next email had me 99.9% positive it was from a scammer...

Well, today a check for $2750.65 showed up at my PO box, Fedex Priority overnight. Was not able to read the company name but the address was of a hotel in LA California. The business name was Manzo Title Company with a valid address for them. Drawn on First State Bank or Detroit, plumbrook Office, yes, lower case p in plumbrook and no there is not a "plumbrook office" for this bank. I called the closest branch I could find and was told I was the fourth caller today with one of these counterfeit checks.
Now remember, I still have no clear indication where/who this fake check came from. LOL, later that same day 3:54 PM this email shows up....

Pls confirmed the payment and get the payment cashed ,deduct your money for the snake and hold on to the balance till my arrival back to state ,when am back ill keep in touch and arrange for the shipping and the balance with you,pls am still busy with the burial ,arrangement ill be waiting to read from you nd am so sorry for the mixed up,GOD Bless.

I'm sitting here laughing as I know this is an attempted scam. I notice the tracking number is off by only a few digits. I pull up trackoing and that envelope was delivered to Watertown CT. Of course I called fedex to confirm and possibly send this other person a warning. Since they used hard copy air bills they could get away with no phone number for recipient. Both packages originated in Emeryville, CA but as from an international source? even the Fedex guy was confused. Anyways here's my reply, let's see how much longer I can string this loser along......

Hi Janice,
So sorry to hear that, I hope she went peacefully and is in heaven watching over you.
Yes I did receive your check and was puzzled who it came from as there was nothing in or on the Fedex envelope indicating who it came from. Just a company name I could not quite make out from an address in LA. Glad you emailed me so I now know where it came from. You take care of what you need to I'll hold the extra funds for you until your return.
Thanks, Dave Colling
