2. The Over Payment Scam. You place an ad for a roommate. The buyer contacts you and offers more than you were asking. They send you a check for several months rent in advance. After you deposit the check you get an urgent email asking for a small portion of the money back due to an emergency. You refund a small portion only to find out the check is bad and now the bank wants to collect from you.

3. Damsel in Distress Scam. A person posing as a woman places an ad or posting seeking help. Either she is in an abusive relationship and needs money for a bus ticket or met a man online and he flew her to a far away place and now needs a plane ticket to get back home safely.
