the way to tell the scam:
they want to send you a cashiers check for more than you are asking and ask for the excess to be sent via western union.
If western union is acceptable, why would they waste time mailing a check? Tell them to send YOU the money via western union.
No, I am just thinking out loud. Of course its a scam. You can always tell by the yahoo email.

its the same old scam
they send you a cashiers check, you cash it, and send the shipping money to the shipper.
A few weeks go by and the bank realizes the check is bogus, they withdraw the funds from your account. You are on the hook for the shipping money, which is all the scammers wanted anyway. They dont want the item, no shipping company will ever contact you.
Its the western union part that is the scam. You can send money to Frank Whatever at 232 Whocares Lane in Anytown Florida, doesnt matter. If they have the confirmation number off the money order, they can pick it up at ANY WESTERN UNION IN THE WORLD. You think because the guy has a US address that its legit, but its not.
Sorry if my original post was confusing. They dont want your info, they dont even want your item. They just want you to cash the bogus cashiers check and send them some money Western Union. You cant get it back from WU. You think because the check clears the bank that its legit, its not, banks cash cashiers checks immediately as a courtesy to other banks, once they realize its fake YOU are on the hook.
