Keep getting IMs from a possible scammer

This guy with the AIM name "itsmypostoffice" has dugg up 2 of my old FS threads (1 each day for the past 2 days) and IMed me about it, offering more than I was asking. Both times they were previously sold though. He also asked if I was "selling anything else?" It seems he really wants to make some kind of transaction and it seems fishy. Also, he seemed to completely forget today that he had tried me yesterday already.

Really? I thought it was a contest between certain posters to try and make the most wild and inaccurate arguments in an attempt to throw off the original argument because they realized they had worked themselves up in to a lather over, essentially, nothing. - XOR != OR

Not that I can find in search but I figured Id post just incase anyone gets a message from him and searches for his name to check him out.

He said he found my username on this forum though.

I forgot to mention the really scammy part.

The first IM asked me if I was selling my PSP still. I sold it almost a year ago but I had listed a WTB thread about 2 days asking for another PSP. When he asked me about my PSP, I told him I was looking for a PSP not selling one, he responded "Oh, my friend is selling his PSP for $100. Message him". Also, when I asked him what firmware the PSP was, he said he'd ask "his friend" and immediatly responded with "2.80" as if his friend was in the room. Why is he asking me for a PSP if his friend that is right there with him is selling one, esp that cheap?

Scammer IMO. Just ignore his IMs.
