That scam's been around long enough to be called a true "Classic Scam". A few years ago I sold my Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 six times and got six fake checks. I strung one guy along for weeks, telling him all sorts of reasons I couldn't get to the bank to make the deposit. Toward the end he told me he was going to call the police. I said, "I am the police you d**n fool. Don't you see my email name?"

There's a group in England that are very active in scamming the scammers. You'll laugh your behind off reading their tales. Read them at www.419eater.com..
