Classifieds scam

[ultiman]

I'm selling a set of Ultima brakes discs and callipers etc and received an offer which looks suspect. Reluctant to provide my bank details i suggested payment by PayPal. Unsurprisingly this was met with silence.
Offer as follows note the spelling. Be careful if your selling.

Thanks for the quick response about the product am buying from
          you,anyway the price is OK by me but i will like you to know that
          payment will be made by Check.  If this mode of payment is OK by you.
          Kindly send your information which you will like to receive the
          payment from the post man, so that i can instruct my secretary to
          issued it immediately

           Name to be on Check:.....
          Address where Check will be received by you:.......
          Phone Number's such as Mobile,Land line and Office number:....
          Asking Price.........

           Never mind about the pick up, it will be after you must have cleared
          the payment from your Bank Account.  Await your Quick Response so that
          i can arrange for the payment immediately.

Hi Steve
I hope you're well?
Its the poor spelling and grammar that gives this away and the lack of interest in collection. This is confirmed by the subsequent lack of response to my suggestion of PayPal which can't be reversed, unlike a cheque. Its unwise to give too many details to a stranger and I don't want my account emptied again so a bit sensitiveto scams.

Yes, that's what I thought, bank and other details.
