in this scam, an innocent seller advertises an item on
craigslist for a given amount – say 1,500 dollars, but
an interested buyer contacts the seller and says he’ll
send a check for the item, but when the check arrives,
it’s written for a much larger amount. Finally the scam
artist has his money, and the innocent seller takes the
