This is a scam!!!!!!

Ok I just want everyone to know to watch out and take caution on a transaction. I'm trying to sell a car audio system on this forum and on carstereo.com. I got a hit on carstereo.com from a guy in the United Kingdom wanting to buy my system. In our e-mails I've notice that he's been stright forward on how to cash the cashier's check, get hold of this shipping company by email, and wire the remaining balance back to him by western union. So my system is selling for $700.00, during the wait of the check i got many emails about if i've recevied it and specific directions once i get the check. So the other day get get his check. the first thing is i did'nt have to sign for it and there's no return address on the front. Opening the envelope there was a $3,800 check. What the Fu@#! Now i'm thinking that there is something wrong. So i take the check down to my bank and talk to them about it. they told me it sounds like scam, and that there would be at least a 10 to 90 day hold on the check. So looking at the check and calling the bank thats on the check, they told me that this check is a fraudulent check. so the check is on it's way to FDIC in washington. So the picture shown is the check, please pay attention to you checks that you receive from people. the only thing i did to this check is took off the account numbers on the bottom.

Everyone should know about this by now...someone tried this on me like 3 years ago or so. Except that idiot thought I was actually going to sen dhim $9000. Not only is it always a scam when someone overpays a cashiers check and wants a refund, but you should NEVER accept any form of payment from a foreigner except paypal or an electonic transfer. NOTHING PAPER, EVER! Basically the best practice is to not do biz out of the country, period.
