I wish I would have seen this a week ago. My dad just got scammed out of $6000. A guy sent him a cashiers check and told him to take the $250 out for the doors he was selling. Then he sent the rest of it to the shipper (scammer) thru Western Union. Today (a week after he deposited it) the bank called and said the check was counterfiet.
