| Nigerian scam |
Widespread scam in which owners deposit the check and then the “renter (in this case the Scammer)” asks for an immediate refund, or worse yet, they write a check for an amount greater than the balance owed and would like you to mail back the difference. Unfortunately, by the time bank discovers the counterfeit certified check, it's too late—you have already sent the refund amount and there is no recourse. |
