Picture this. You advertise something for sale on line, maybe on Craig’s List, eBay, whatever.  You get an email from someone interested in purchasing your item. After settling on a price, he sends you a cashier’s check for quite a bit more than the price you agreed to sell it for. When you point this out, he apologizes and requests you cash the check, take your share, and return the overpayment to him. You do so, only to find out weeks later that the cashier’s check was a forgery, but of course, the money you sent was not.

This is one of the fastest growing scams on the Net. Be careful.
