Hi Bob
What's caveat emptor? You talking dirty? LOL
I do E-bay all the time and the only form of payment I accept is PayPal,
cash and a US Postal service MO. THEY ARE THE ONLY FORM OF PAPER CHECKS THAT
ARE
ASSURED TO BE GOOD. No bank, cashiers or certified checks are good for sure.
They can ALL be canceled and refunded to the purchaser. The purchaser
doesn't need the original check to get a refund. All they need is their
duplicate
receipt. As long as the check wasn't cashed yet, they refund the purchaser in
full. By the time you receive the check, it's already worthless even if it
was a legitimate check in the first place. I know!!!!! A costly $1400
lesson!!!
I'm much, much smarter now!
The latest scam is simply photo copy a returned check before they return it.
It starts as a good check to you, certified, cashiers, whatever. Copiers do
both sides of the check so the copied check looks just like the original. You
can't tell the difference.
I do it all the time. Saves me a bunch of money... KIDDING I'd be going to
SW if I did. Hmmmmmmmmm... LOL
