My car is for sale in e&m on internet and magazine. i have had an interested buyer claiming to be a dealer, offering to pay for the car with a cheque. the cheque is for the price of the car plus shipping. once the cheque clears, someone will come to take the car, but i have to pay the shipping fees into western union with the extra from the initial cheque. is this a scam, do you think, *******

Scam definitely.this is one of the oldest ways to rip people off. the check they send you is a phony. you cash it, send them money and then the bank comes after you because you deposited a bad check.
