I'm amazed that a reasonable person could believe that someone wants to give them thousands of dollars for free.

 

no they are suppose to deposit the check and send them the difference back
but the check is bad and when u send the difference back after a few days the bank will kno the check is a fake and u will be left wit a negative in your account screwing u over casue now u owe the bank money

 

Yea, someone tried to do the Cashier's Check scam on me after I listed a sofa on Craigslist.

 

Deal in cash baby. Oh yeah.. Money all the way. I won't deal any other way... except credit card with a drivers licence and have the money transferred to a swiss account (you can set one up for 200 bucks) and then send an obscure amount back to your account. Safest way. LOL I used to work in corporate fraud. I have many ways about getting through that stuff. :-)

 

Craigslits pretty much sums it up ...

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/about/scams.html

distant buyer offers a high-value (but fake) cashier's check in exchange for your item

* you receive an odd email (actual examples sent to craigslist sellers below) offering to buy your item site unseen.
* cashier's check is offered for your sale item, as a deposit for an apartment, or just about anything else.
* value of cashier's check often far exceeds your item - buyer asks you to wire the balance via money transfer service
* banks will often cash these fake checks AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE CHECK FAILS TO CLEAR
* scam often involves a 3rd party (shipping agent, business associate owing buyer money, etc)

 

how do you set one up?
