Okay, here's the way it works...

You put something for sale/lease on the innernet, like on Craigslist and then...

...you get someone who says they will buy it or rent it ot whatever and wants to send you a "cashiers check" for way more than whatever it is with the stipulation that...

...when you recieve the check that you forward a portion to a shipper 'er whatever...

Problem is that the "cashier's check " is worthless but that check you just mailed to "X" probably, unless you don't have money to cover it, isn't and...

...you are out the amount you sent to the supposed shipper or whatever...

Nice little variation of the Nigerian scam, don'tcha think???

BTW, the cashiers check will come Fed Ex and look like the real deal... But it isn't...
