All of what Doc says below--and if the scammer is dumb enough to  respond 
report it to the FBI and see if their computer crimes people want to  
participate in the game.

You can  either ignore the scammer or have some fun with  him.  You could  
tell him that you are also a marine and ask where he  trained.   He will 
need 
to do a little research but then you could claim to   have trained at the 
same 
camp and ask who his DI was, etc.  You could  go  ahead and have the guy 
send you the "cashier's check" but  obviously not cash  it.  Keep it as a 
souvenir.  If you do  not want to share your address  with the scumbag, 
give him a  
fictitious address.  When he contacts you in a  week or so to  see why you 
did not forward the overpayment, you can discover that   your dyslexia 
caused 
you to transpose the numbers in your address.   At that  point, give him a 
second fictitious address.  This will  at least cost him  time and postage. 
 If 
he is persistent enough  to contact you again, you can  suggest that he 
send 
you a wire  transfer.  Obviously, do not ask for a  direct transfer to your 
 
bank account.  Suggest a Western Union  transfer.  At this  point, he will 
not 
contact you again.

Be  wary,

Doc
