So we have a live wannabe fraud committer who claims to have sent us a check which accidentally overpays for some furniture he is "buying" from us.

Anybody out there have any good ideas how I can do something better than just ignoring this?

Here is the text of his today's email to us:

How are you? I just received the confirmation from the Bank that the payment as been issued out and was mailed by the United Parcel Service. It will be delivered to your address in 1 day from now according to the courier ,but to my greatest surprise the draft was issued out for my monthly pay check $2,000 instead of the actual cost of my purchase . The Bank claimed that i requested for my monthly pay check to be issued out to you but am very sure i only made a request for the cost of the goods to be made out to your name .This is a terrible mistake and i was just informed about this so please once the check is delivered please take it to your Bank and have it cashed as advised by the accounting officer at the Bank. You will then deduct the cost of my purchase plus an extra $100 to offset the cost of your run around expenses.The rest of the fund should be sent to my mover via western union the same day you do receive the payment so that my mover can make the trip over for the pick at once. I will need your immediate response via email assuring me that i can trust you to handle this with care and have the remaining fund returned appropriately.I am hearing impaired and will hope that your intentions remains noble though out the duration of this transaction
