Default is this some sort of scam??

selling some bits got an email saying hes interested.
got another email saying,

Hello Dave
Thanks for the response,so am okay with the price ofthe escort cosworth parts i have not see the pics and am far away from the State so dont worry about the shipment ihave a shipping agent that carter for mypick up any where in the world.I will instruct my client to send you a cashier's cheque of (£3,500) so what you have to do immediately the cheque gets to you and its cleared in your bank you will deduct the funds for the escort cosworth parts which is (£1000) and send the Excess amount(£2,500) to my shipping agent via western union money transfer sothat they can be able to pick the escort cosworth parts up from your destination and my other consignment in the state.So if this is okay by you you can forward your full name,address and Mobile phone number.Expectingyour response back
Regards
Mascot

I got one of these the other day for some cheap crap i was selling on Ebay. Wanted it posting to an agent in Manchester. All sounded suspect to me. Confirmed when he wanted to bank transfer into my account and asked for my card security code and number.

I know I'm blonde, but for shits sake, I'm not that thick.

And Manchester, come on, pick somewhere exotic if your going to lie about it
