*********** It's a good thing as soon as I see this I block that f***! Protect yourselves from these foreign a****s!

Well spotted. This is a fraudulent check overpayment scam. Had you continued on with him, he would have wanted to send you a (fake) check for an amount over what you are charging, with the overage to be sent to some supposed third party.

Even though you used your real email address for this interaction, you should be perfectly fine if you just ignore him completely.

Thank you for posting this! Please let us know if you have any questions.
