Can someone tell me how scams work?

Example: Someone (the person to be scammed) is to function as a middleman. The person (middleman) is to relay or transfer money from one party to another. The middleman is to receive 10% of the total sum as his/her commission. He/she receives a large sum of money from the first party via check; he deposits into his account. After the funds clear, he is to transfer 90% of the sum on to it final destination.

So, how is this a scam? Is it possible or HOW is it possible for the first party to retrieve the funds that have already cleared with the originating bank.

Thanks,

Stan
