The check is a real check drawn on a real account that does not belong to them. They have you pass the overpayment to their 'shipping agent'. They don't care if you deliver the plane or not. The money sent to the shipping agent disappears. Come the end of the month the real account owner notices the bogus check and after all the dust settles you owe them the total value of the check. You still have the plane so after you refund the payment you are just out the money you sent on to the shipping agent.
