mrs.m Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm probably just paranoid. Does a person really need your phone number for a cashier's check? Maybe she's paranoid of me? :lol: I'm just worried because the English is a bit off. I asked for paypal only. (it's not on this forum, which is another worry). And can I walk into a bank and cash a cashiers check without waiting for it to clear? She said I would wait for the check to clear and ship the item. It just sounded a bit weird that she explained that to me. I thought I wouldn't have to wait for a cashier's check to clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I wouldn't do it. I had someone try to scam me, and their asking me for my phone number was one of the red flags for me. This person told me that he/she needed my phone number to call me and let me know that the check was mailed. :confused: Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) It is most likely a scam with a counterfeit cashier's check. They might send it for more than the price and then ask for a check back from you. Generally you have to cash the check at your own bank, so that if it is counterfeit they can charge it against your account. Often it can take more than 2 weeks for the check to be returned.

mrs.m Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 ok, I'm sure it's fraud. I was hopeful I was going to sell it! :( Better safe than sorry though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
