I asked him if it would be okay for "a tree surgeon friend of mine who lives in Colchester to go and have a look at them" - and also how he was going to send 100 saws by second class post.

Could be genuine, but it pays to be cynical.

This is a totaly un related scam.

My Dad nearly got taken for £40k a few weeks ago, he got an order for 5 specialist sprayers (he makes and sells crop sprayers). The order was from a company in Saudi Arabia, after a few months of discussions as to the specification which included details of the vehicles to which the machines were to be fitted being sent over and an agreement that an engineer would go over from scotland to saudi once the machines were ready to set them up. When the order was confirmed my dad asked for the money up front, standard practice under the circumstances. Sure enough a payment was wired directly into his account for £90k ish, the order was 50k ish, the next day they got a call from the saudis saying there had been a mistake and could they please transfer the extra 40k back. Luckily at this point my Dad got suspicious and called the cops. It is now in the hands of the serious fraud squad.

Apparently the way it works is they issue a bad cheque into a foreign bank and immediately draw a bankers draft against it paying this streight into the "marks" account, if he then pays the over payment back (to a different account) he looses out as as soon as the first bank realises they have been done they claw back all the money.
