  Jim,
  A similar situation happened to this guy:
  http://www.jsonline.com/news/wauk/jan03/110964.asp

  Here's how the scam works. A buyer offers to buy the car and sends you an
  authentic looking cashier's check, however, through some "mistake" the
  cashier's check is made out for an amount greater than the agreed to pric=
e=2E
  The buyer, realizing his mistake, contacts you and asks you to send the
  difference back to him.  You agree.  The cashier's check turns out to be
  counterfeit or stolen, however, by the time your bank realizes the mistak=
e,
  you're already out the money.

  Regards,

  Ken
