NO NO NO!!! This response is entirely incorrect. For example, even though a cashiers check clears after a week, and the funds are supposedly good, it can take WEEKS for a fake cashiers check to make its way though the system and come back to the bank as a fake (fake cashiers checks take longer to come back than a regular bad check). And if it's an international cashiers check it can take EVEN LONGER!!! And the bank is entirely within the law to take the money out of your account at that time, and if you had already taken it out and you don't have it, it creates an overdraft THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR!!! And the bank will come after you for the money, they weren't the ones that were scammed, you were. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Ryan Wright" <ryanpwright@...> wrote: > > On 1/24/07, tuxr <tuxdarby@...> wrote: > > > > A wire transfer can be pulled back by the bank.
