<prompt> Human: Hi folks,I know this sounds like a classic scam, but I dont understand how he can profit from it. I wonder if you might be able to identify whats going on.Im selling a table. The person interested has FedExd a cashiers check that has been issued by MT, but for 2755. The table was only 1099.Whats the scam here? Assistant: I believe I remember reading a similar story, I believe it ended up being a fake check. The guy took it to the bank, informed them of the situation and IIRC he still ended up in a bunch of legal hell. Human: I wonder if the bank would be able to tell me if its legit.  <response>: It could take over a month for your bank to determine its not legit.
