Way Old and Quite Dumb Because...

I think the Over-Pay by Counterfeit Cashier's check beats this one out by a mile because you actually get what looks like a very real check that has to travel through the banking system for you to become aware that it is a fake. In the case of this scam, as part of it to work, you must provide your private banking details such as account numbers, SWIF (?) numbers, transfer info. Basically, in the follow on email, the scammer simply asks you to provide them with enough info so they can pretend to be you, provide all the info, and order your bank account to transfer money into their account. Anyone who gives away all that info willingly, might as well walk upto a stranger on the street (help the homeless maybe?), hand them your ATM card and carefully write down your ATM password and directions to the nearest branch.
