I had a friend ( a very dumb friend) scammed with something similar on Craigslist when he tried to sell a guitar. The scam is that someone sends you a message that they want to buy your item, then they send you a check for $2000 and claim that it was a mistake. They instruct you to cash the check for $2000 and send back the difference and the item you were selling. My friend almost got arrested at the bank for trying to cash the check. My friend also believes in Bigfoot, UFO's, chem trails and voted for trump so pretty easy to see why he got scammed.
