Is this a scam?

[Kimberly Dow]

I had a recent email from a fella wanting to buy a print for $200. I gave him the price and told him I'd accept a personal check and ship it when the check cleared. He emailed back that he'd be sending a cashiers check for $1,000 and would I please send the remainder to his shipper along with the print. I replied - no - I only accept checks for the exact amount. He emailed back about how much he wanted the print and that the check will cash - he promises. I replied no again. He emailed back again saying if I was worried about taxes on the amount of the check going through my bank account that I could take the approximate taxes out as well. I said no again and repeated my first response. He tried at least 4 more emails until I finally told him he was wasting my time and not to email me anymore. I figure it must have been a money laundering thing or something. There is no legal reason why this man could not cash his own cashiers check that he claims he was paid with.

Silly people.

Pat - just make sure it's for the exact amount including shipping.
