eBay Cashier Check Scam - Alamogordo Daily News

One of the latest scams is making the rounds on the online auction site, eBay. According to a news release from Key's office, two 12th District residents who sold items on eBay were given cashier's checks for amounts in excess of the agreed price. The two were then asked to return the excess amounts to the purchasers. They did so, only to learn after that the checks were counterfeit. The two must now pay back the full amounts to the banks that cashed the checks.
