It's a more targetted version of the Nigerian scams, I think. They get more and more details from you bit by bit then fleece you somehow. Usually the initial premise is that they have lots of money and want your help getting it laundered but there are all kinds of varieties. Like they offer to pay over the odds for Ebay auctions and stuff. Another similar one is to send you a cheque for more than the amount owed, get you to send a cheque in return for the difference and then get the original cheque stopped. It's got "dodgy" written all over it though.
