SCAM DON'T DO THIS The check they send you is not valid and once you send the excess amount of the asking price and the bank realizes that the check is bad. Bam you're out the excess amount you sent them. You want to make the check clears completely and let the bank know what's going on so you don't get the short end of the stick and make sure you complete the transaction in person!

yes but I let them send me the check 
then they email me once they see I received it via UPS or FEDEX overnight, I tell them my dog ate the envelope before I opened it. LOL
I tell them Im sorry but the check is in such poor shape I cannot take it to the bank. Then I ask them if they could send another one, This time I tell them the delivery guy left it on my front porch and rain got it . In the end they spend 10-15 dollars 2 or 3 times just in UPS FEDEX fee's. The even have to ***** to tell me I was scamming them. I always email back telling them to stick it.

+1 for scam.
I get several scam emails a month. Anyone ever get this one: We are a overseas company and need someone in the US to do our transfers...
Or: We have come across a large sum of money/inheritance at the bank, and if you help us transfer it we will split it with you...
