Auction Sellers. Has anyone had a buyer want you to cash a CK from a client of his and send him the diff. of?

Question

Just Recently sold two items to I believe two different People. both buyers had the same responce: They represented a client and the client would send ME a check in excess of the amount of the purchase. Then he/she would wanted me to send the difference in the form of a western union money order back to them. This I belive is a scam But I was wondering if any one else has experienced this.

Answer 1

It's a scam. Steer clear. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. I almost did, and it's a good thing I'm a scatterbrain and forgot the checks at home after I sold something.

Answer 2

Scam!
