The cashiers’ check seems a lot cleverer to me. What’s worst, though, is the ones who use such methods to purchase goods from Craigslist and the like and the once the person has shipped the item, the check bounces.

The whole “cash and send part back” is a more obvious scam, but having the “money” in hand probably makes some people more trusting.

I am always amazed that after all this time and all the warnings people still fall for these idiotic scams.

I guess it’s true. There is one born every second.
