Next comes a bogus cashier's check and the request to return excess money by Western Union.

I once agreed to take the cashier's check, but on receipt just to check it out deposited it. It was returned two weeks later as bad. I told the guy after a week that I would send the excess funds, but didn't. A week later he emailed that he hadn't received them, I said that I had sent them but would check if they were actually sent. Later I said there was no way to check. A week later he emailed that he still had not received them. I said there was nothing I could do and perhaps they were slow in getting there. A week later he again said that he had not received the money. I responded that indeed, I was stealing all his money and had sent nothing. He raged threatening me with Voodoo. Later when the forged check had been returned, I wrote to tell him how disappointed I was with him being a crook. He did not respond.
