Default Please educate me on scammers when selling a car

I’m selling my son’s Suburu on Craigslist, and within an hour, I had three responses and all seem to be scams. Latest guy said he’d pay my asking price sight unseen and throw in $50 for holding it for him. Just asked for my address to send the cashiers check. He said he’s away from St. Louis now and can’t see the car, and he’s really busy with his daughter’s wedding. I said no reasonable person buys a used car without driving it, and for him to let me know when he can stop by to see it. So I assume that’ll be the last I hear from him.

What’s the angle and how do they expect to cheat me? If he sends me a fake check, will he really expect me to let him pick up my car?

Pretty depressing when everybody appears to be a crook.

Thanks

Bruce
