There are all kinds of these. (links below) I have had a few tries over the years when I have been selling things. Mostly ones where the buyer tells you he/she will pay more than your asking. There is usually some spiel about them being over seas or going through a divorce etc. Pretty easy to tell, especially the grammar/spelling and usually requesting money being deposited in Western Union.
It's fun to play with them by stringing them along however so there is some entertainment value in it if your so inclined.
