or what they do is give you the money order/cashiers check, arrange for a shipper to come pick up your item. they never meet you face to face or their scam won't work. Anyhow, the shipper comes and gets the car/truck/rv or what ever. you have a check in your hand. you deposit the check, it clears in the beginning. but after about 2 weeks when your bank gets notice that the check didn't clear and that it was a fraudulant money order or what have you, your item is long gone and you have no money for it. these scams always start out the same way. the emails always sound the same. give me your best price or I will buy it sight unseen. if they talk of a shipper or money order/cashiers check you can be guarenteed it is a scam.
