Wow Coleman... you just shook me to my bones. The thought of depositing this cashier's check (it's for 25k) then having it bounce and having to pay that much to the bank. ****! Absolutely terrifying, so glad I asked on here. Last night I was planning on skipping to the bank today to deposit this thing.
Mr. Frost has my virtual mailbox address.. he asked for no PO boxes, but too bad.
So basically as long as I don't deposit this cashier's check... there's nothing he can do. Doesn't have my real address, just phone and e-mail.

This is dripping of a scam READ You have the check? So "Mr. Frost" has your address?
Tell Mr. Frost that you will deal with him locally for cash only.
The result of these scams is that the fraudulent check will be returned unpaid. The bank will then deduct the amount of the check from your account or otherwise seek repayment from you, and you will lose either the goods that you sold, the money that you sent to the third party, or both.

I should have mentioned: he paid me 7 grand over my asking price to cover the "shipping." I thought that was really excessive. To me it feels like someone trying to rob me out of 7 grand and a trailer. Really hope I'm wrong but confidence is low at this juncture.
No your not wrong. Trust your gut - do not do this. It does not cost 7K to ship a trailer to Ohio.
Googled the check remitter - call them!
