all fraudulent cashier's check scams start out with giving you a fake check. You cash the check and it is no good, YOU are responsiable for the checks bouncing. Here is what I heard: The scam person uses one banks routing number and some one else account number (they scam before you) and then uses a blank bank stock checks or stolen check stock. Even the bank name can be faked onto a check with the new printers today. If not sure about a check contact the bank NAME on the CHECK itself and ask to speak to the bank Manager. If you can, go to the bank that has the name on the check. If a fake they will let you know it. Just do not cash a check until it is confirmed a REAL CHECK. NOTE: 419 check scam in the us hit over 1,000,000 people and still growing. NOTE2:It takes about two weeks for a bank to receive money from a cashed check.
