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 !!!!

Because it actually takes several weeks for it to be proven valid. The poor
sucker ships the radio after a week or two and the valid Western Union
moneygram. Then afterwards, he is notified by his bank that this third
party cashier's check is no good the deposit is removed from the account.
