Looks like he just copy/pasted his original message from TZ, where "fltimepiece" still appears to be a member (and not banned).
Could be a possible account hijack. To me the "FL" in the name hints at the user being in Florida, but the bank and phone number are in Ohio.

Also, I've said it before: Among other steps taken when vetting buyers/sellers, you should run their phone number through a database checker like http://www.phonevalidator.com
This will tell you the origin and carrier for the number. If it comes back as a Skype/Voip number, or any carrier known to port numbers for Google Voice (Bandwidth.com, Level 3 Communications, etc.), that is a huge red flag IMO.

I just ran the number above and it does come back as:

"LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS - POSSIBLE SKYPE, VONAGE OR OTHER VOIP PHONE".
