actually in this case.. it's handled by the FBI, at least for my friend's case, because this is a nigerian group that is being operated from the UK. the cashier's check was made out from a bank in east coast, but when u get the fedex envelope, it's actually written in handwriting by someone whom mailed it from the UK. the cashiers check is totally legit. another friend whom is a bank auditor, brought the check in and found out it's actually an bank issued check, but the bank never claimed those checks to be stolen. when my auditor friend question the bank's manager, they were aware of it until it was brought up. then they reported to the police that certain numbers of their cashiers check was stolen. as to whom is right or wrong.. don't know. but when they ask you to wire the money to a western union place.. the address is actually an address of a western union in the east coast as well. as soon as the wire is done, the money is gone and the account is closed. as to why they haven't been caught... dont' know.

regardless... bottom line is... if u think it's too good of a deal to be true... then it probably is.
