Scams from Umbongoland

You will be asked to pay the balance by 'Western Union' which is irretrievable whereas his cheque to you is retievable, once you have paid the balance he will then call his cheque back even after it has cleared.
I advertised a vintage Bass guitar and got loads of these replies, 99% originate from Nigeria, if you ask them to pay you by 'Western Union' you won't hear from them again.

How can the cheque be called back after being cleared. I don't get that bit. If the cheque is cleared and I have got the cash and spent it, how on earth will he be able to get it back?
