I'll explain.
Let's say you are selling something for $3000. These scammers tell you they already have a $5000 check made out and if you'd kindly take this one instead. They then tell you to please just send the "extra" $2000 with the item you are selling (sometimes they "give" you extra money for your troubles). Well, before you realize, the check is fake. Now you are out your item PLUS $2000 of your own money!
I'm not sure why they refer to a shipper. Anyone care to explain that part to me?
