ebay bankers draft!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Tommo:
what a bummer, i would have thought it was up to them to decide if its forged or not before taking it and sticking the money in your account. i always assumed there was some sort of system that all the banks shared to check that everything matched up, cant take long to find out if the account in question legitimatly produced that bankers draft.

Boggert:
I wouldn't accept one, unless it was from someone I know or a reputable business.

There are lots of stolen, fake ones floating about, it can take the bank a week or 2 to let you know its stolen.

crazymac:
This is quite a common ruse by the "I'll send you £3k in bankers draft for your £1k landrover, and when the shipping agent arrives can you give him the £2k in cash?

You hand over your landy and £2k, then a month later the cash is pulled back from your account as it was a forged bankers draft!!!

Obviously if yoy get one from yoyr own bank to pay someone, that will be a genuine one, but never accept one in payment!

Hangover:
When you choose the way you recieve your payments it just happens that bankers draft comes on the same option as postal orders,most people would take a postal order but more than likely not a bankers draft.

Tommo:
I dare say a postal order is much easyer to forge etc, but you wouldnt have a 2 grand postal order... would you?  Its a lotta stamps! ive only ever used them for stuff under £100
