Problem is the 'official' looking check arrives, you deposit to your bank,
the check clears just fine, then about ten or more days later, you get a phone
call
or a letter in the mail from your bank that tells you the check in question
was a
forged instrument and is worthless, plus you bank may also charge you fees to
handle this forgery.

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 !!!!
