I led a few of them on maybe 5, 6 years back, the bullshat about my shipper will come to pick it up, cashier's check in the mail - followed by 'Oops, my secretary made it out for way too much...' but I quit doing it. Waste of time. The first 'cashier's check' was really bad, just not believable but the second time I did it, was a believable forgery. Hard to imagine anyone would fall for that routine but I suspect that if one in a million didn't fall for it they wouldn't still be doing it.
