Cashier check Scam number associated with 407-216-6324 a FL #, goes by Richard. Contacted me via text for a product I was advertising.  I was asking $450 sent me a check for $1950 from a Northern Trust Bank/Dupage, Oak Brook, IL 60523.  Has a return address on envelope Patrick Bates, Treasure Home INc., 2909 Lower Cartecay Rd, Ellijay, GA 30536.  The  address is a house that is for sale.  He said he was from PA, contacted me on a different line from FL, and has a return address from GA, and the envelope was sent from North Texas.  Contacted the bank that was from IL to let them know.

Same thing happened to me by the same person. What did you do to get the money back?

I had the same thing happen, except the number was a 517 area code.  I was asking $100 for my product and he sent a check for $2200.  Same treasurehome address on the envelope with the name Patrick Bates.

Mine was from Joan Hayes, who texted me from (517) 816-0331,  She agreed to buy a tool for $500, and a check was sent for $2200 from Patrick Bates , Treasurehome Inc, 2909 Blower Cartecay Rd., Ellijay, GA 30538, from Mansai, Inc, 9555 W. Sam Houston Parkway S, Suite 360, Houston, Texas 77099.  These are overpayment scams.  They may be money laundering, if you cash the check and it clears, then give them $1700 or clean money from your bank account.

I contacted the FBI about this same situation and the officer told me to go to www.IC3.gov and submit a report.  I did that a few days ago, but haven't heard anything...doubt I will.
