Day amp arrives Cashier check returned

Thanks for all the advise so far.

This guy actually seems to check out. His address and phone number are listed, and the local police say he lives in a nice residental area.

To me if he were going to flea, the phone # would have been bogus, and when I offered to ship three day air most criminals would have said yes. He said ground would help save him some money. We talked on the phone and have stayed in touch constantly from begining to end.

Grant it he is a newbie and may have paniced at some point but I really can't say right now. I'm just glad I found out early enough to cover the check with funds before I started bouncing checks

I was almost able to stop the delivery, but UpS had delivered four hours prior. I'm keeping the faith for now, This guy seems nice enough I hope it's no big deal

STAY TUNED!

Thanks FP, sounds like I called off the attack just in time :^)

Here's an update,

The buyer called me first thing this mourning with tons of bank info. (Good sign) I talked to the branch manager of the issuing bank. She swears the check is as good as gold and no stop payment was ever issued.

No one on either side can tell me exactly what happened. Until I recieve the check with the formal explination my hands are tied. My bank say's it has mailed the check back to me, so all I can do is wait it out right now

The issuing bank wants to know why the check was returned as does everybody else in the loop. I must say I am very disappointed in how my bank has handled this matter thus far. They don't seem to give a cr*p.

The buyer called me again a few minutes ago for an update. As always he sounded polite and concerned. We talked more about gear than about the bounced check.

This isn’t over yet so stay tuned!!!

I got a call from the branch manager of the buyers bank this mourning. She went out of her way to track down this check. She made a photo copy of both sides. Guess what? I forgot to sign the back.

My thoughts at this time are that my bank stinks. They couldn't tell me this three day's ago? Instead they give me the run around, nobody knows nothing. Every person I talked to told me something different.

The last idiot I talked to said they were going to stick it in an envelope, put a stamp on it and send it back to me.

How nice!

Strip the money from my account without warning me or without any explination. Then mail a pretty big chunk of change back to me non-certified mail. Think twice before signing up at Washington Mutual. These people don't have a clue how to treat their customers.

Imagine if this were an international transaction for three times the amount. :^(

Never say it can't happen to me because for me it just did.

I'll keep this thread going till the deal is complete.

Right now I'm waiting a few days on the mail.

Just recieved the check back in the mail. Take us back to DEF CON 5 or is it DEF CON 1 I forget? anyway got to get to the bank.

Thanks everyone for your concern and support. Your the best family a guy could have :^)
