I just recieved this email about something I'm selling. Is this some kind of new scam I should know about?

Hello ,
I appreciate your response to my inquiry. I'm interested in buying it
from you. I would love to come and check it myself I am on a business
trip overseas and wont be back for a while.
Pls do withdraw ,with immediate effect, the advert from Web as i dont
mind adding $50 for you to do that, so i can be rest assured that it is
held for me. I should believe it is in good condition as stated. I will
be making the payment via a Certified Check, which my secretary will
mail across to you. I'll be picking the it from you with the aid of my
mover. My Mover will be coming to pick it from you once the Certified
Check has been cashed. Please, I will need both your full name and
physical address to issue out the payment.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Probably should give him your social, too, while you're at it.

what bank do you use? If its bank of america, they will eat the fraud. Take the check, cash it, spend the money, when the check comes back, tell them its their fault for clearing it and make them pay. And then you can still sell your shit

My ex almost fell for a scam very similar to that.
If she hadn't showed it to me she would have went for it.
