Possible red flag on deal, please read.

Hey all, what do you think about this. I have 2 watches for sale right now here on TRF and I was in communication with a new TRF buyer both through dm’s and 1 phone call for one of my listing. We agreed on a price over the phone and I requested a bank transfer as the payment. He told me he has never done a transfer and was not comfortable and asked if I would take a cashiers check. I said okay and of course would wait for the funds to clear then send the watch. I got the cashiers check 2 days later and went to my bank and was told they could not verify it. Before going to my bank I googled the bank it was drawn from and called the number. What was weird is that they asked me for the check number only and asked me what the amount was for. No routing number was requested to verify. So that along with my bank not accepting the check and the weird call to the bank I will walk away from the deal.

Should I contact the buyer and tell them there was a problem with the check and request a wire? Or should I not make any contact with them as I feel it was most likely fraudulent.

Should I post the members name here. I do not want anyone to run into this issue from them.

Thanks for the help.
