Probably Nigerians, they are famous for internet scams, and a large group of them does 'business' from Amsterdam. Every once in a while there is a police sweep through that area, but deport 10 of those illigal scammers and 25 come back to replace them.

What about accepting the check and ship a box full of garbage?

I'm sure their 'shipping agent' would inspect the product....or maybe not...I like how you think though....and now we have our own Amsterdam agent, thanks for stepping up Ferdinand!
