How do you detect a shady buyer?

["fallstich" <falbach@xxxxxxxx>]

That would be great, maybe they are OK!  I did however just get a response
for someone who wants to send me a large amount of money, I take my share
and pass the rest onto the shipper.... what is that about?  Seems like a
scam, but how does it work?
Thanks

Kristen
