[T3] Latest scam

[Jens Vagelpohl <jens@dataflake.org>]

<x-flowed>This might interest those folks who are selling cars and/or parts using 
online ads, such as thesamba.com. Someone using this particular method 
answered a couple dozen ads on type4.org:

There's a new scam which involves forged cashiers checks
that are made out to an amount higher than the purchase price and
necessitate you sending money back to the purchaser. It is explained on 
this
website:

The important thing to note is that the forged check is only discovered
after your own bank clears it, thereby creating a false sense of 
security
that the check is good.
