10. Yeah, I got one of these on an ebay auction once.

I'm still not sure how this works to the scammer's advantage. Part of the scheme was that the scammer overpaid me, I suppose expecting a cash or (valid) check refund.

If you wait for the payment to clear, which it won't, how can you get burned? Yes, the guy gets your name & address, but that info is available online anyway (apparently, especially if you are a covert CIA operative).....
