Beware of the Internets

I recently posted an ad on MTBR.com to sell some jerseys.  I'm happy to report that my return on this $2.00 ad has been great until last night when I got this question from a prospective buyer.  Is it me or does this seem a little fishy?

Hello, 
thanks for the mail ok i just want you to know that i quite okay by the price of the item and also i will like to quickly pay for the item through check which will be sent to your full name and address...

Also i have a shipping Company Agent that will come for the pick up of the item as soon as i pay you...

I will include the shipping fee of the item and ur item fee together on one check that will be sent to you address...

So as soon as you get the check you all you need to do is that cash the check same day and deduct your item fee and send the rest funds to the shipping Company Agent Through Western Union, So that they can come for the pick up of the item as soon as possible.. 

Please kindly answer the few questions Accordingly. 

Will you be able to cash the check same day? 

Will you be able to send the rest funds to the shipper same day you cash the 
check?
