Had same scam from guy in England. Sent a 6K Cashier's check drawn on the
Bank of America, San Fransisco, CA.
My bank fraud department checked it out and found it had been a legit check
for $80 at one time and morphed to a 6K check.
The banker told me its a BIG problem because most folks deposit it and don't
find out it's bogus till the bank calls and debits their account, for the
whole amount!
It cost the scammers a FEDEX letter and the morphed check, and several
telephone calls from the overseas operator wondering why I had not complied
with our aggreement.
Too bad so sad.....they need to eat a bullet.
