It's a scam.....
It happened to me when selling a boat recently.
The guy was a foreigner, but had a client here in the US that wanted my boat. Sent me a Cashiers Check drawn on the Chevy Chase Bank in MD. I deposited the check and sure enough the next day the funds were available. I was a bit leary after the wierd communications, so I went to talk with my bank manager. He was able to bring up a photo of the check on the computer, then called the Chevy Chase Bank to verify the numbers.
The result was that the numbers didn't match. The check did not exist. It was a fugazi.
My bank turned this info over to their fraud dept.

Beware!!!!!!!!!!
