Cashiers checks are no longer accepted as a 'safe' way to pay for a purchase anymore.
Scammers print them up on a printer.
I know. :(:(
I accepted a cashiers check, once.
1. What happens is your bank will deposit it in your account. Only thing is, is that days later after it goes thru the clearing house it comes back as a 'fake' check not associated to any bank.
Now YOU are held liable and arrested for passing/depositing a fraudulent check, felony time. The only reason I did not go to jail is the buyer sent the check via mail to my bank and my stupid bank deposited into my account with out me knowing about it.
2. The other way some scum bags do it is yes they had the money in their bank when they drew up the cashiers check. And then the next day they withdraw it. So when it clears your bank there is no money to back it and they have your auto, rv or whatever you were selling.
NOPE, cashiers checks are a thing of the past as being considered good money. With all the computer software they can print up fake cashiers checks all day long.
