Hey Jay,
Yes it's a scam....a very old one at that. It's a variation of what is called te Nigerian Scam. You can google Nigerian Scam, and get a lot of info. This variation is known as the "up front payment" scam. They send you a bogus cashier's check for more than they payment, and want the rest in return. Trouble is their check is NEVER good...NEVER. Since it's a overseas check, it takes weeks to clear. By the time the bank realizes it's bad, you've already figured it's good and returned your good check.

Keep in mind, they do not want, nor care about the product. The check they send you is never good...ever.

Here's one of many places to check out this variation of the scam.
