Just thinking out loud but

What is the harm in putting the cheque in? If it clears no problem. If it bounces they will get a returned cheque fee. As long as you don't give your address until you have cleared the funds you should be secure enough?

How would this scam work anyway? if the cheque clears and you are supposed to pay a refund, send the refund by bank transfer to the account on the cheque? tell him thats the law or something? Then you've sold the wing at your price and his job to collect it.

If all bona then no worries. If a scam its a pretty failed one?

Just curious, don't take my advice.

I may be wrong here but...
I've had my 'A' wing advertised on skyads. I had a foriegn chap who's English read like spam mail contact me, but he seemed intrested and wanted to pay by cheque, no worries I thaught, wings going no where till it clears. I kept asking for a name and address, but he didn't even sign his emails (marcus.morgan@yahoo is all I got). He said he would overpay to cover postage, and could I refund the diff' when his agent comes to collect the wing. ??? His cheque came today, in € when I asked for £, and for over x3 what I was asking. Needless to say I didn't put the cheque in. Is it worth reporting and to whom?
