How do you know if a cashier's check is a scam?
How do you make sure you are not getting scammed by a fake cashier's check?

@John Perez, call the bank from where it was issued and ask about it. But YOU look up the contact info for the bank, don't take it from the person who is giving you the check.
Also, if you think it's fake, just say no.
