<prompt> Human: The buyer I am dealing with on Craigs list for my truck wants to send me a check for the amount of the truck there was no negotiation plus the amount of money it will take to ship the truck to an undisclosed location. He wants me to deposit the money to make sure that the check clears, then take out the balance to pay the shipping company.Feels like a scam. If it is, how does it work?  <response>: Its either a scam or the first time in recorded history that this hasnt been a scam.Basically the check will seem to have cleared, or theyll hope you think its cleared somehow, and suddenly theyll need you to wire x for some convoluted reason. Of course then their check bounces and youre out the money.
