beware of scams

I was advertising a motor on ekn.A gentleman named John Herritage responded to my ad.He sent me a cashiers check via ups for 5000.00 for a motor that was selling for 2000.00. And asked that I send him back the remainder 3000.00 because his partner made the mistake so I said ok.
So feeling something was wrong my wife googled his name and found the exact scam that he is trying right now as I type.(scams John Herritage) That was a close one.

That is a classic scam that everyone should already be wary of. They use an international bank check (that is fake), international bank checks take longer to verify (~week?) and thus you think you have that money in your account and send them the "change". Then the bank tells you it was fraudulent and you could end up eating the money.

Usually it is a lower amount due to most banks being more careful of higher amounts.
