solution to Nigerian scam problem

[Todd Phenneger]

SUre,
  Me to, what the Hell.  As a banker that deals with these scams
on a monthly basis and has to weed out the fraudulent cashiers
checks these guys pass through the banks, I'm happy to fill
their mailboxes.
  Dont be fooled fellas.  Cashiers Checks are NO LONGER as GOOD
AS CASH.  Most banks are implementing more strict policy's on
funds availability on large deposits.  And remember, just
because the FUNDS are available in an account doesnt mean they
are collected.  If you wire funds back to one of these guys its
gone.  Your "cashiers check" will bounce a few days later and
you LOSE.
  Just a friendly reminder.  If anyone ever has a problem or
question about somethign let me know.  There are ways to search
via ABA/Routing number to verify if its a valid check.  ALWAYS
call the issuing bank to verify funds and make sure the bank is
real and not the guys personal phone number he uses for scams.
Look it up via 411 or something.
  Sorry for the Band Width.  Just thought I'd share this.  The
"Nigerian Scam's" are getting VERY creative in an effort to
disguise their ploys.  Be Warry.
THanks
