There are doing this scam in Ireland at the moment as well. They will buy a
£10 Cashiers Cheque from a bank and then cut off the hologram and put it on
a £5000 forgery. Cashiers in the bank are even having trouble telling the
difference because they are so well done.

Very strange. I, too, had a gentleman from England offer me a third
party cashier's check for $5000 for a $1500 rig I was trying to sell and
he wanted me to send the difference to him along with the rig. I even
answered him with "no deal".
Boy, was I stupid to even answer him like a gentleman.
Hmmmm...... I musy be getting thick in my old age. If you wait until the
cheque shows up, have the cash in your hot little hand, then the radio
gets sent out, where's the scam ??? Now if you were to ship first and wait
for the cheque........... more fool you
!!!!
