I can say with 100% certainty, this is a scam. You will receive a cheque/draft, but it'll bounce when the bank realise it's a fake, and you'll be out of pocket, with no TV.

Thanks a million Etho for your help. I thought so much. Should I reply to the email or simply ignore it?

Its definitely a scam,

0702 numbers are personal redirectable numbers which can cost a small fortune to call.

I got an almost identical mail when I was trying to sell my car. Definitely a scam.

accept his offer - give him a really far away address to pick up the package (a real address but not your own, maybe something ridiculous like a fish farm)

tell him the cheque cleared, let him spend time and money on fedex to pick up nothing

this is 100% a scam
