Re: beware of cashier of certified checks
I wonder if they are so good that they would have a balance amount worked out too?
So if you ask the person that is giving you the check what the approximate balance is on the account. Then see if the person on the phone gives you something in the same range?
If the amounts aren't even close, then you know something is up.
Just a thought....

Which is why I'm going to do a direct bank to bank wire transfer so it can be tracked.......
Had a good conversation with the seller today and I'm not quite so paranoid.

shakey,
When my wife talked to the "bank" to verify to funds, they even told her the amount of the check. These people are extremely organized.

It appears as though she DID call the bank and verified the check? If so, I hope she got a name of who she talked to...go back to the bank.

Re: beware of cashier of certified checks
SOX,
I just thought that maybe telling the bank to hold on a second and cover the phone, then say to the person, they want to verify your balance and throw a wild number at him to see if the person just says yes that correct....

Luckily for me I did'nt trust the check although my bank told me not to worry...I took out the $5g and took it to the casino
