yup - common scam... works like this:
- you advertise product at $1000 (for example)
- they agree to pay a bit more to 'cover' exporting
- they then advise you they've organised bank cheque/payment/etc but for $2000 claiming a mistake at their end
- they request you return the excess amount (e.g. $1000) along with the product
- after receiving product the original transfer is found to have been false or fraudulent, the bank(s) takes back it's money ($2000) but you can't reverse your $1000 as it was legit transfer
-by the time the overseas country's cops get into action the scammer has changed identity.
common on auction sites, requires the scammer to work out of a populous country to permit the easy establishment of false ID and carry-out dodgy initial cash transfer.
