Does anyone know if this is a scam of some sorts?

YEah if your dealing with CL always take cash only. anything else is 99 percent scam. With ebay take paypal. Anything else is 99 percent scam.

This might be a twist on what almost happened to me. A man offers to buy an item. He calls a day or 2 later and tells me he accidentally sent too much, and that when I get the check, to please please please, send back the difference. If I sent back the difference, and then tried to cash the check, it would turn out to be a bogus check. I would be out the difference. He was never really interested in the item.
