Default Is this guy for real

Finally, someones clicked to buy my finished Alfa project. However, the buyer has sent this message, and he has no feedback score. I'm aware of scams etc. Is this one or should i give him the benefit of the doubt?



Now that I have committed to buy your item, please send me your name and address to send you a cheque. Payment will be issue out in full, Sorry for any inconvenience if I have breach your sales Terms and condition to make a deposit. I did not have paypal account. Note that I will take care of the shipping and the shipping cost will be included in other to let you complete this process.
You don’t need to ship this item after payment has been receive and cleared at your bank you will then need to contact my shipper for pick up. I will enclose he's information with the payment, his person to contact after payment is receive so that he can have it ship to my son in Belgium. As soon as you get the cheque let me know. Thanks

If it makes you feel any better, I've just sold a car on ebay to a guy in Belgium. had to check the username but it isn't the same!
Sounds very iffy to me. Cash on collection only I'd say, and relist it anyway whilst you're waiting!

He was indeed a dodgy fooker. Ebay have kicked him off and refunded my listing fee.
