Advance Fee Fraud

Advance Fee Fraud depends on convincing the victim of the fraud to send money or goods (the “advance fee”) to the scammer, in the expectation of future reward that far exceeds the temporary cost to the victim; the reward never arrives. Fake checks feature in a variation of the scam - the check you get is more than needed, so you send the difference back by money transfer... but the check doesn't clear and you're left out of pocket.
