Off the top of my head, its just a loser who needs a bed frame and doesn't want to pay for it.

If someone is stupid enough to print off a pdf of a cheque and mobile deposit it, the scam would probably work. I think the mobile deposit would work right away, you would see the money in your account and give him the frame. A month or so later when the bank has audited or processed the cheque, it would get flagged, and you would have given your frame away for free.

EDIT: Yeah I guess he could try and ask you to send the difference, which would be more of a classic scam. It just makes me wonder who the biggest moron is in these cases, the guy trying it, or the suckers that fall for it.

Printing off a pdf cheque is a giant red flag, but then over paying and asking for money back introduces another giant red flag. I guess they're all hail marys but asking for money back is breaching Nigerian prince territory.
