Money Orders and cashiers checks can be forged also. They also do a fake paypal scam as well. Your best bet is to ask for cash only. Not wanting to talk and having a huge excuse to not speak via phone is a big clue, the checks are always for well over the price asked and then they want you to send the excess on to a mover or someone they say will pick up the item. Then the check bounces better then a super ball in a concrete room.
