PLEASE DO accept all offers like this. They will FedEx you a Cashiers check. It will be phony. (Invariably they numbers are fake (you can check with the bank) and most of the time they don't even have water marks in them. However you have forced this "agent" to pay for the FedEx delivery.. We have several $12,000 to $18,000 checks on the wall here. The only way to put these guys out of business is to accept all offers and collect checks. Making them feed FedEx and lose money.
