it's a known scam - started by the nigerian idiots.

Here's how it works.

You charge him 1000
he sends you 2000, asking you to deposit it, and then send the extra 1000 to his "shipping company," so you write a check and do so.

Thirty days later your bank does its accounts and discovers that his 2000 check is from a fake account, and removes the deposit from your account. You've now sent him $1000, and your car, and he hasn't sent you anything.
