PLEASE NOTE!!

Cashiers checks and Money Orders are NOT safe anymore. This is the big-time scam these days! Someone will forge a cashiers check and give it to you. You'll cash it, and the bank will give you the money, but will then take it BACK when the check turns out to be forged.

Postal Money Orders aren't subject to this, because the Post Office verifies them BEFORE they pay you. Also, of course, Western Union money orders (and wire transfer, of course).
