[QUOTE="okiebryan, post: 1879266, member: 24457"] Close... but not exactly right. The bogus cashiers check scam works like this. Scammer sends you a check for the item you have for sale, with extra added in to "wire to the shipping company". The shipping company doesn't exist, it's actually the scammer under another email address. You receive check for $4000, your item is $2500. You are asked to cash check and wire $1500 to the shipping company. Scammer gets $1500, nobody ever pickes up the item, and you just caused your own bank account to be fubar'd when the forgery is discovered... ofter weeks later. When I was on disability I spent quite a lot of time baiting these scammers. Caused them to spend time and money chasing what they thought was a mark. I received over $1 million dollars in counterfeit cashiers checks over a 4 month period, and destroyed them all. Once I even got a scammer to pay for me to ship them a used and broken washing machine. Another paid to have a concrete block shipped to them. Lulz all around. [/QUOTE]
