[s-cars] Scammer alert

That would suggest to some that the bank should be held responsible.
If they place the funds from a certified cheque into your account, I would
have to expect that it had cleared.
That does give one something to think about. Next time I am in the position
to take a certified cheque I will remember this.

Apparently lots of banks will credit the money to your account and allow
you to draw on it a few days before it has actually cleared.  This lulls
you into a false sense of security and causes you believe that it has
actually cleared.  A few days later, the bank realises that the cheque
has bounced, and removes the money from your account.

Wait until the cheque has actually cleared (by checking with your bank
that they have received the funds from the other account), and then
you've nothing to lose.

Why not just "wait" till the check clears ???
Seems like a simple concept to me...
