I hate people. Trying to sell some things for my grandparents on Craigslist and I am 99% sure someone just wrote me a fraudulent check. They got really angry and defensive with me on the phone when I told them I am not sending anything until the check has cleared. Luckily my banker is awesome and she investigated the check after I called her and told her that something seems fishy.
Who the hell writes a check for $1,800 over the amount to cover shipping costs on silverware? Flag number one. Then she tells me her mover will come pick it up. Flag two. The final straw is her getting defensive about integrity. It's business, honey. You're not getting a return of excess funds or the merchandise until I am guaranteed that check is good.
Also, you use a supposed Texas marching band's booster account mailed from an address in Vallejo, CA to buy antique silverware? Nut job. Time to call the police. Then she has the audacity to ask for my receipt with my bank account balance on it. LOL.
