Watch out for this guy!!! Mr Mikel Midel

So I am thinking this guy is a total scammer...

This is the fake email confirmation of payment from him...

We are still waiting to receive from you the shipment tracking number or waybill so as to confirm payment into your paypal account, you can now go and ship the item to the address provided to you by our client Mr Mikel Midel, the payment is still pending cos we await the shipment waybill from you so that we will release fund to your account. please check your junk mail to verify our payment notifications email.
We do hope to read back from you the shipment waybill.
Thanks
Pay Pal Transactions Team.

I received multiple emails from him on some parts over @ VRM stating he would send me a check and have a courier pick them up. Sounded very fraudulent so I required PP or USPS Postal Money Order and an address to ship with tracking and delivery receipt. He pushed for a check a couple more times. Smelled very fishy.

You have his home address? Is it in the States? Write him a nice note about him being a known scammer and that the authorities will be contacting him shortly… lol.
Considering the amount of thievery that exists on the web, I am amazed that the sales section, ebay, et al, still work relatively well.
