You receive an email from someone wanting to buy something from you or your website. He wants to pay by cheque and (usually) wants you to ship the products to his address in Lagos, Nigeria.

The variants on this scam often involve:

• A payment via cheque is made, but (some time later) is returned by the bank on which it's drawn because it was forged. The scammer counts on your willingness to ship the product after your bank has (provisionally) cleared the cheque, and before the cheque has cleared its way through the whole international banking system.
   
• An "accidental" overpayment by the buyer, who asks you to deposit the cheque and then refund the amount of the "overpayment" when you ship the goods. You're out both the cost of the goods, and whatever "overpayment" you refund, when you find that the original cheque is rubber.
