This has almost happen to me before...a while back I was selling some electronics on craigslist (first time I ever used or been on a site like craigslist) that I had no use for.
This scammer offered me more then what I was asking (should have figured it out right there but thought maybe it was worth more) and said that he would have someone pick it up but I had to cash the check that was sent to me which was even more then the already higher offer he offered me and mail back the remaining amount of money.
I got out of it right there but the check was still sent to me, funny thing is, is that I was in the shower the other morning and my girlfriend found it in the kitchen cabinet and wanted to know why the hell I had a check for two grand. Should have dropped it off at the police station but never did.
definitely something people have to be very careful for
