i've actually been fed-ex a phony cashier's check to my house.
my scam was, "come and photograph an event for me, money's no object."
i quote them$500, they send me a cashier's check for $2500, which will actually clear temporarily through your bank. they say they accidentally overpaid you and can i personally pay the caterer the additional $2,000. seeing that the check cleared, one might wire the "caterer" $2K, it's not until about a week later that your bank tells you that it was a fake check.
