This is true. The banks don't usually verify the validity of the check. You could deposit it and even withdraw money, but as soon as they determine it's bogus, you're liable for it.

I will buy it with th Hondata and so i will pay u $2000 for it and so i will be making payment via Echeck
------------------------------------------------

is this a scam or what? she wants to pay me $300 over the $1700 price i gave her haha so what u guys think

this is what i wrote to her:
I am only taking paypal. btw i am goin to sell it tomorrow for 1700, in which the person is going to give me the $1,700 in hard cold cash. If you can do paypal, let me know.

lallalal so yeah discuss.
scam or not?
See where it goes. If it's Nigeria, Load the package to hell (don't even put the parts in it), and send it

tell her ok
send me the echeck. deposit the echeck. wait for it. tell her you sent the kit out and it should be there by the end of next week. but dont send it out.
she will email you back asking if you sent it out. tell her you were busy and your sending it out this friday and it should be there next week garenteed. but dont send it.
she will be angry but your still waiting for the check to balance out (btw sell your kit to the kid with the 1700) after a month and your banks still says its a good check. then part together a hmt kit for 500$ and buy hondata s200 for 200$ and send her the kit. tell her you sent it dhl and it should be there in a couple days. you just made bank and beat the scammer system. if she was trying to scam you your not out anymoney. its like you got a month loan for 2000$ till your bank figured out it was bad check.

that is sooooooooooooooooo legit. isn't it obvious? Some trick bitch wants to buy your kit give you more money and is horrible at negotiating. i'll send you a check for 2500 if you ship it to me. if you ship it as soon as you get the check i'll send you another check for 500 when i recieve the package and if you send it next day air I'll give you an additional 750.

deal?

Standard Nigerian fake check scam, just usually not such small amounts.....

You can use a method called "Reverse Freight bait" to get back, but that really only works well when the scammer is trying to get the sale item too (really well on laptops....Google Anus Laptops for a good example of a reverse freight bait initially based on a fake check scam)

look at
www.419legal.org <---- for legal jargon on various scames (note: link fixed)

Read up on
www.419eater.com <----- to combat this, and standard 419 scams (your dead millionare relative e-mail)
