Every time I try to sell one of my cars, always an overseas guy tries to do this. Last time the car was 3500 and he sent me a 7500 check - said keep 5 grand. knowing this was too good to be true, I actually got the money from the check and put it in a separate savings account and waited.. dude was panicky for like a week, must have racked up 100s of dollars calling me, talking as I explained they put a hold on it - then all of a sudden he disappeared. Like clockwork, the bank called after about 2 weeks and said NSF on the cashiers check. I went to my branch and explained what I had done, and gave them back 100% of the cash - the manager laughed his ass off and said that these checks have become a huge issue.
