 Cashier's Check ScamsOk, I'm posting this to remind people that, if something seems to good to be true, it is. Don't ever deposit a cashier's check in to your account with the promise of being able to keep a portion of it just for sending part of it back to the sender. The bank may even tell you the check is good and the funds are yours, but the check will STILL come back as fraudulent. You will then be responsible to pay the bank back. Even if, and, or and but. You will still have to pay it back.

When all else fails, make up a statistic!  Gender references shall apply equally to the other gender. I will not correct gender mistakes (unless I want to) |

| I can't believe people still fall for this. I know of an instance where a full university professor fell for that. So much for higher education.

| In my experience, those who fall for this have at least some larceny in their heart. You can't cheat an honest man. |

| It seems to me that those who get screwed by these scams, a good portion of the time at least, are a party to the fraud themselves. They're being asked to launder money or receive a check that they KNOW they didn't earn suddenly. I wouldn't include the ebay victims in this, they thought they were conducting legitimate business, but the others....you made your bed. |

| The most recent OP to ask about this said that she received a check in the mail, with no return address, from a company in Canada, and it was to pay for mystery shopping. She cashed the check and used the funds to pay for her own bills, and is now complaining that the bank wants the money that her shopping spree caused. And, she doesn't understand why.
