Julie,

Considering the business Leon has done with the guy his situation seems silly BUT it may not be so outrageous. Money orders and cashier checks CAN be cancelled.

One little scam I've heard of works like this:

- The "buyer" pays with a CC or MO.

- The seller sends the card feeling confident the certified deposit is legit.

- The "buyer" then claims the CC or MO was stolen and the money gets taken out of the sellers account and is returned to the "buyer", who by now also has the card.

You have to be careful out there.
