Its a really old scam though, been going for years and years. Didn't think they'd bother still doing it.

What happens is the cheque looks like it clears in your account (after 5-7 days or whatever). You do the deal, then the cheque bounces 2wks or so after. Not sure the bank policy on clearing a cheque, then it bouncing, but you'll loose out in the end.

forward it on to the guys who are ment to be tracking this type of stuff, google it, you'll find it..

It might help them if you are stringing them along this much, im actually appalled that you've had to ask us if its a scam though..
