<prompt> Human: Hey PF,Im selling furniture on Craigslist and Ive got someone wanting to purchase it via mailing me a cashier check. I know that there are scams with regular checks and money orders because they can be backed out of or from a false account. Is it the same with a cashier check? I believe the bank immediately takes that money out of their account in order to get one, but I dont know if it can somehow be manipulated to scam people. The person told me that they will wait until the check clears my account and then send some movers to pick up the furniture. It seems sketchy, but if theres no way a cashier check can be manipulated then I would be fine with going forward with it.  <response>: Yes you can be scammed. People make fake cashiers checks all the time. Cash only is the way to go.
