SAME thing here when selling my Lexus GS300 on Auto Trader. It was a "buyer" from Canada. I strung him along for a couple weeks then printed all of the e-mails and took them and the FAKE certified check to my local police Dept.This happens A LOT and if you cash the check YOU are legally responsible for the money>>even if the bank did not catch it right away. Had this happen to a close friend and he was visited by the police and was forced to come up with the money or face jail time.
WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
