I reported bush.alex to the FTC.  

See complaints and comments about this scam with the phone number of 1-206-666-3628

This is a scam. The email (and the phone number) I received are IDENTICAL. Additionally, his second email told he will pay with a certified check and a mover will come pick it up. In addition, he requested all of my personal information. I told him I do not do business that way.

Here is what you are going to do after you got the check cashed...you
will receive a check of $2800...then you will deduct the money for the
item which is $200...then i personally give you $100 for your running
up.so that make all the money you will take out of the $2800 will be
$300...then you will get the rest of the money sent to the mover via
western union..here is the mover information below


Receiver Name: Andrea Smith
Address: 52 Fitchburg Rd #237
City: riverdale
State: Georgia
ZipCode: 30349


So you will take the western union or money gram charges out of the
remainder money which is $2500..then you let me know how much Andrea Smith
will be pick up..then i want you to tell me when is the best
time the mover will come for the pick up?i hope you can understand me
now...pls if you have any question email me back..

Alex
