so, i listed my snowmobile up on ebay, within 2 days a person used buy it now. he did not ask anything about the sled (which is wierd cuz its $7,000) he sent me a cashiers check of $7,000 but it looked a little sketchy… but it had a watermark in it so i figured it was legit,took it to the bank and deposited it and the bank called me a few hours later saying it was a counterfiet check. I have not heard from the guy but he is now not a ebay member any more. I have told him i recived the check and i want to set up a date so he can come pick up the sled, where i will be waiting with the police. i hope to god he comes and picks it up. but if he does not come to get it? why did he go thru with this scam? he would lose$ becuase he over nighted the check to me via fed ex ---

I would call that credit union back and ask them why they are issuing false checks to shady people to begin with. Tell them they owe you $7000 on behalf of their client Mr. ???. See what they say. Oh and defintely get the cops if he does try to pick it up. ---
