I too was contacted replying to an ad I placed on KSL classifieds as well. He used the same language as the above post. I was leary about this whole thing. I gave him my name and address to send a check because that is public record. He over nighted the check Fed Ex, then I get the text that confirms it is a scam -says he sent me more money for my trouble and wanting me to deposit the check and then send the rest back to him through Western Union. I of course didn't deposit the check or send him any money. I told him I was filing a police report. He never gave me any contact info when I asked for it. The check came from Encino California.
