If all he has is a certified check, tell him to take it back to the issuing bank, get cash and come see you to complete the deal. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 432008Certified checks can be forged just as easily as a personal check. +1 CASH ONLY Even with cash I would validate the authenticity of the bills.

She says she sees a dozen or so fake cashier's checks coming thru. They are especially risky if they are drawn on a small bank and you do not know what that banks checks look like, or even if that bank exists. Usually one phone call to the branch where it is written can tell you. They will probably send you to someone else, but I can usually get them to check their in store log. |
