I got the same thing a while ago when I was selling a sailboat. I got the IP address, called the FBI and reported them with thier phone number. They said most likely they wouldn't follow up but its a common scam. The check will clear at first and about 2 weeks later it will bounce. They will send extra and what you to send cash back for shipping. Thats where they get you.
The guy who tried to scam me knew nothing about sailboats, I knew right awas it was a scam so I asked him if he minded that the spiniker normally ties directly to the propeller and the main sail is a right handed model. He said thats fine when can he have me ship it and send the money back.
