Jand3rson fund to help him buy a more reliable dd?

A casheirs check can easily be fraudulent. Also the op admitted that he does not have a good history with his bank. But it most likely should have cleared by now. Even then, the bank would have told him how long the hold is for.

Now for the question as to why you would take one, well it makes a believable fraud story for when you claim it was fake to the community you stole the initial money from. Aside from that, I have no idea why you would take the check over cas

Funds are clearing today. As soon as I get the notification, I will transfer the funds via PayPal and post a screenshot.

... unless the account has had issues with funny stuff

in which the OP said he's already had so it'll just have to wait a little bit longer.

good grief you guys are like vultures circling around a dead horse trying to pick at any piece of meat left on a very dead subject.

[2mAn]

Realistically, BofA has an advanced system that shouldve verified and cleared that check by now... unless the account has had issues with funny stuff

[Ether-D]

Yep, cash. Preferably in five dollar bills. Then you get to have one of those briefcases full of cash.

Never even crossed my mind, But I only take cash as payment.

I know it's a cashier's check. It doesn't matter, if the bank holds it they clearly don't trust it enough to treat it as cash. If Josh wasn't able to convince them it's guaranteed funds, one would assume the evidence given wasn't enough to confirm if it's a real check or not.

I worked as a bank branch staff for 8 years making those calls. If we hold a cashier's check, either you've been defrauding us repeatedly and can't be trusted at all (can't rule this out as a possibility I guess) or the check could not be sufficiently proven to be legit.

I bought cars in the US, the seller always went to their bank and verified it before I left. I've done it with my own cars too. I don't think you guys know how many fake cashier's checks are deposited every single day.

[Mr. Tasty]

Who lets a car go without guaranteed funds for it? If the bank is holding the cheque (sorry, check, I'm Canadian), that means they don't have sufficient evidence to show that the instrument is guaranteed and are not willing to take the risk on it not clearing. A risk of having to get money back from you, a person whom they have social security, address, history, and other confident means to collect back from you. It's too risky for them. And you let a car go with that same instrument and information attached to it?

That kid could have a free "$8k" E30 right now. This decision was more reckless than anything you did up to now in my opinion, especially since you're not only fucking with your own money, but that of the public also. This could all work out as if you didn't just make a gigantic mistake, but regardless of the result, it was a mistake.

Isn't a cashier's check certified funds?

It should be. They just hold the funds if it is over a certain amount due to the possibility of it being fraudulent, even when it is a cashiers check.

He gave me a cashier's check, so I'll have to get to the bank tomorrow and then get funds to Yan.
