Thank goodness I did not ask for advise on this forum when I sold my MH a few weeks ago. You guys are so paranoid, how do you ever sell or purchase anything? You think everyone is a crook out to steal your $2.
I believe in being cautious, but, if I had to jump through the hoops some of you describe,I would never purchase another MH

"purchasing" and "selling"....2 different animals.
Banks won't even accept cashiers checks as cash any more. We've come a long way with the onset of scammers since the old days. These fake cashiers checks LOOK just like a legit check.
I called an attorney for advice. Said wire transfer. Notified my bank to watch for wire transfer. Scammer sent over night cashiers check instead and my bank deposited into my account. I made them go in the dumpster to find that overnight envelope.......address was Maryland, Nigeria. Bank saw Maryland and the rest is history. I had to hire another attorney to get out from a felony for the fraudulent check deposited in my account. :R
Sadly if you are selling anything today CASH is the only way. That is unless you don't care if you ever want to see your money or vehicle again. just saying.
Beware of Wells Fargo and Western Union. The money does not drop the same day if it is a larger money figure. Been there done that AFTER I signed all the papers they decided to tell me that.:R
