Money Orders!
If they can send check, they can send money order. Postal money orders are
best.

Subject: [MV] Protecting Yourself from Counterfit Checks

I'm in the process of selling a truck and would like
to know how to protect myself from fake cashier's
checks or money orders, etc. What I'm dealing with is
in the $7000 range. In the past I usually insist on
cash, but I always run in the question of checks. Is
there a way to protect yourself? Can a bank determine
up front if the check is valid. I had once heard that
even if it is a cashier check, the bank I deposit it,
still wants a few days to see if it clears.

Thanks
Mark
