Very strange reply

This is a reply on my classifieds for my parts. Just dont seem right,What do you think?
Thanks for the response concerning the sale of the (Item) ,go get the advert off the web and consider it sold, You dont have to bother about the pick up presently i am schedulled to leave for Holland on a business engagement and my trip will last me five working days but i believe my trip doesnt stop this transaction as i will be informing my business associate in the state to make out a certified cashiers check of $4000 to your care as soon as you receive the payment and verify it your bank you will deduct your cost price and additional $100 then you will transfer the balance via Western Union Money Transfer to the shipping company that will handle the pick up of the (item) ,the reason being that i have other consignment which they will pick up for me in another location, they will as well be responsible for the signing of all titles relating to this transaction and the pick up.
Kindly provide me with your full name you want on the check valid phone# and complete contact information for the check delivery if my mode of payment is considered and if i can trust you with my fund. I look forward to do
business with you.
Regards............Babajide.

That is me! I apologize if I came off as a "fraudster" as I was trying to sound professional.

Go ahead and give him your bank account number...I am sure that Babajide will drop $4000 into your bank account with no delay!

actually they do send a check alot of times. the problem is your bank can usually verify it and then it comes back a week or so later as stolen and the bank takes the money back...i know of a couple guys that have fallen for it. it was almost verbatim the same scam both times...
