Guy is flying in from LI, and I need to verify the cheque. How can I do this on a Saturday? It’s Estoria bank. To complicate matters, the guy maybhave already gotten the cheque made in my name, but my stepdad will be finalizing the sale. ---

If I were you, I would do a quick google search and possibly turn up ASTORIA bank. Their contact page might list 1-800-astoria as their number, and they just might have Saturday hours from 8:30am to 3:00pm EST… [https://www.astoriafederal.com/html/login/contactus.jsp](https://www.astoriafederal.com/html/login/contactus.jsp) 😉 Call him tomo morning to get the check numbers, and have it verified before he arrives??? ---

> [@khoveraki](#): > > We’re not all selling $200 cars you know. how is that relevant? what does the value of the car have to do with the possibility of getting scammed? in fact, why would you fly somewhere to scam someone out of a shitty car? it would be more worth it to do on a nice car. i agree with the certified check thing smelling like a scam. ---
