This scam has been going on for years in the auto industry as well, and every year they keep polishing this dog and pony show. Jake is correct, they will send a check, but in the all too long term it will bounce. Because hi tech printers forge money orders and cashiers checks these days with relative ease, I no longer accept payment through these means for vehicles I sell online anymore, it is too risky. We use bank wire transfer, or cash upon delivery. We have had no problems with that, and the customers understand that fraud is rampant and are happy to comply. I usually credit them 25.00 to cover their bank wire cost on their end as well. Hope this helps someone stay safe, it's a tough world these days.
