The way they usually work is that they send you a check for more than you were asking, and they have you wire them the change. Then in a few weeks the bank figures out that the check or money order was bad, and they want all the money from you.

IF YOU GET A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER IN THE MAIL YOU WERE NOT EXPECTING.....DO NOT CASH OR DEPOSIT IT!!!!!!!!!

You can learn all about the different scams at Clark Howard's website.
