Don't laugh too hard. One of the sellers on the Classifieds fell for the
scam just a couple of days ago - he already sent the "excess" money
back, spent the rest, but hadn't shipped his horns out yet. The bank
called him and told him the cashier's check was bad. He now owes the
bank the money, and is ill equpped to pay it back.

He read the warning, but figured it couldn't happen to _him_.
