I had a guy who supposedly lived in England and that he had a dealer friend over here in the states that owed him money. He said his friend would send me a check for $9000 which i was only asking $7000 for my car at the time and that i would cash the check and send the $2000 difference to him in England and he would then arrange shipment. Well right away it sounded way to suspicious so I told him it was sold. About 2 months later i recieved a check in the mail for $9000. My cousin is a branch manager at our local bank and he scanned it and it went through. So i opened a seperate savings account for the money just in case the guy contacted me again after the check had cleared. I then recieved a letter from my bank about a week later saying that the check was not real and that it was counterfeit. So thankfully i did not lose anything over this since i opened a seperate bank account. I wouldnt go through with it if i were you. Just my opinion and personal experience.
