I was scammed when I was trying to sell some puppies--it is called the third party scam--the guy sent me a check for more than the cost of the puppy and said I should sent the excess to his puppy courier (before the check had time to clear). I did not fall for the scam, but did find out that banks now charge you for deposits that bounce.
