They send counterfeit cashiers checks, I have one sitting in my drawer at work, was trying to sell an older vintage singer, it was made out for more than I asked, would I please send overage back to them by western union, of course before cashing I called the bank it was on, one clerk told me "its a cashiers check, of course its good", informed the young lady that no they are not always good, asked to talk to an officer, and after checking of course it was a forgery, It was delivered by UPS by a dark skinned man, in a Fed Ex envelope, with coke's account number out of CA, I let FBI know and I let Coke know, FBI said keep the check and they would get back to me, well that was 4 years ago. I led the man on by days, just for meaness, before I finally told him off. We have had several customers that this has happened to. Just last week a bank customer wanted to cash a money order and he mentioned that someone in someother state wanted to purchase his coffee table, I asked him whats so special about this coffee table, he said it was just a plain ole coffee table, I told the customer that I would not cash the money order, but that he could deposit it and wait a week before issuing funds and that it was probably a scam, sure enough it was. customer said, "but he was so nice over the phone". Also, Guard you checking accounts, check them often, people are stealing checks out of mail boxes, making their own with your account number, wiping your account out over the weekend at places such as walmart, because they use Check system which will allow a check to be cashed as long as there are funds in the account. Be Alert there is UGLINESS out there.
