How safe is this? I am trying to sell something locally, yet this man sayid due to how many he purchased we cannot risk taking cash to meetup and would like a to pay via cashier's cheque. How safe is this? Should I watch out? Decline the deal? I just need to know if its a 100% safe transaction.
If that is the case I would just meet him at his bank, those can be forged/faked. Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
Yes, the plan is to meet in the bank. I'm just one of those people that doesn't trust anything other than cash, I even hate paypal transactions.
Bank then cash out or decline. Even personal cheques can get bounced and cashier cheques are prob the same. Bank draft in your name is another story tho it too can be forged
If you will be meeting at a bank just ask for cash from him. If he can get a draft then he has the cash and should have no issue to take out the amount of cash, heck he can even take it out from a ATM.,
I would meet at his Bank and have his Bank do a Wire Transfer for the dollar amount, to your Bank right there and confirm that your Bank has the money into your Account Number. You will handle the giving of your Bank Account Number to the Bank Teller only, and he will not be watching this happen, if he wants to, be really careful, because that is not a good sign.. If the Bank does it all, there is absolutely no way for the transaction to go "south" on you. And this way, if he is really a bad guy he cannot follow you home and take his money back, etc., since he is the only one who knows you have it at that moment. It sounds like its complicated but it really isnt, its handled by his bank to your bank electronically, and no one can hijack your money. Good luck Dan F
It for an iPad. And he claims he buys 25 daily so his limit is exceeded. I would like to cash it right away, but he wants to meet at his bank. I think I'm going to pass, hes giving me $20 below what I want.
Man, this feels sketch, but if hes doing a wire transfer though his bank in person, I'm geting to get the verification there seems to be not issue. He had a pretty heavy accent, and was saying something about how he cannot get more cash as he would need to get a business account to allow him. He said I could decide and let him know if I still want to go through with it. He also explained he does things this way to avoid getting scammed himself.
Nope, BB and Futureshop (owned by bestbuy) here in Canada. My friends and I were second in line at 2pm, launch at 5pm, but at 4:30 we got tickets, so we left to futureshop, stayed there to get more iPads, then went back to BB to redeem the ticket. Successful day! Loads of fun too!
If he does a wire into your account he is entitled to keep a copy of the form that has all your account info. Don't do that. I say go to his bank with him if you choose and get him to withdrawal cash. I work at a bank and this wouldn't be a problem. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me. I have seen lots of fraud in my time and this is sounding a bit sketchy on what this guy is saying to be honest...
If you are meeting at his bank, tell him to go in and get you cash. If he refuses to accommodate you, I wouldn't waste your time. Sounds too flaky.
There is no limit, unless he is already overdrawn...i think. If it was me id still go, just let your banks handle it.
