Not so much about getting a refund, more actual fraud. I.e. funded through a stolen credit card or they offer to pay with a money order or cashier's cheque that will eventually bounce.

Or another one I read is they'll send an e-transfer but it's from a different country in a different language, and instead of it being an e-transfer to accept, it's actually a request for payment and by accepting you send them $$. Send out a bunch of these and it only takes a few that don't bother to translate it and click ok.
