Happens to me ALL the time. It's called the West Arican/nigerian cashier's check scam. I've been trying to sell my '70 Toronado and have had many foreign offers for more than the asking price. The alleged buyer then wants me to send them the difference, but the cashier's check is a phony. Their checks never clear, so I don't know wht they even try.
 
Yes, that's exactly what it is. However, it's not just Nigieria. This scam is prevalent in many other countries in the world, but the VAST majority of it's victims (or near victims) are in the US. Check out www.scamvictimsunited.com . I am a board member there. Just remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
 
Heres one I got not long ago.Nothing ever came of it after letting them know that I recieved their notification.
