FYI
I second that. One of my clients fell victim to a scheme where she got an order for $4000 worth of her products (not unusal, as she sells art). She was sent a cashier's check for the full amount and was asked to ship to an address in Nigeria. The Nigerian person then contacted her several times asking if the check had cleared yet and urged her to hurry up and send the merchandise. Finally after a few weeks, she decided to spend her own money on shipping and sent the products off. A couple weeks later, she was notified by her bank that the cashier's check was counterfeit. When she notified authorities, she was told that the US doesn't have jurisdiction in Nigeria...
