This is one of the oldest, yet perpetual scams out there. I have commented on this scam on this forum before, but in a nutshell: The buyer will make a "mistake," and send more money than the asking price. The seller will be told to forward the difference to a 3rd party. That is the hook. The buyer's check will be bogus. The seller will be out the money sent to the 3rd party. End of story. This scam perpetuates because it works, and some fall for it. Good for the OP not taking the bait.
