Here is a situation that just happened to me, but we caught it before sending
any money. A buyer of something you are selling sends you a check or money
order or cashiers check for more money than you wanted for an item. They say
they want you to send the difference in whatever way they request and they
play on your honesty and really need it to be sent now. Do not cash it or
deposit in your account. Take it to the brand of bank the check is in. Let
them find if it is a good check. This is especially if the money is to be
sent out of the country. Nigeria is #1 in the world for money scams. Only
accept checks for the amount and never should you send a difference in return
that was more than you requested for an item or automobile. Joe Machado
