The same thing happened to me using Craig's List. I advertised a player piano for sale, got an email from someone in the UK wanting the piano and willing to pay my price. He would arrange shipping and send a cashier's check first. Another email came in saying the check was on the way, but it got exchanged with another by mistake which was more than the price of the piano. I should then send him the difference. Fishy, Fishy. After investigating, I found this scam (or variations) are common. His cashier's check would have been no good, and I would be out the difference.
This happened on Pianomart also, and in fact they have a long list of scammers to be aware of on their website. Today someone tried to acess my Paypal account, but it was blocked. As Yakov Smirnoff said, "What a country!"
