The counterfeit cashier's check process mainly targets the people that use Internet classified
commercials which are put up for sale merchandise. Usually, a paying attention party which is located outside the
United States associates with the merchant. The merchant is told that the purchaser has a customer in the United
States that owe him money. As such, he will tell him and send the merchant a cashier's check for the amount owed
to the purchaser.
Cautions:
Examine the cashier's check.
Be alert that the drawer's signature is not traced.
Certified checks are usually perforated on at least one side.
Speak to the financial institution on which the check was drawn to guarantee authority.
Be careful when dealing with people outside of your country.
Several scammers are very cunning, so being smart alone is NOT enough to protect yourself from scammers.
