Jeremy,

You'd think a certified check means the funds are secure....but that is Canadian banking rules. The guy that ripped me off was in Texas. Seems certified there means that the funds were in the account at the time the check was issued. that's all... So there is a window to send the check then close the account.

I talked to my bank about this. They told me this is the latest internet scam going. They were getting dozens of these happening each week. There are loop holes in the banking rules in some US states that allow this scam to occur.

Seems only CASH can be trusted....then again....with printers these days.
