Fake Premier Valley Bank Official Check

[mcurtisal]

So close to getting scammed by a Patrick Kier in Chino, CA. He agreed to buy my Sub via wire transfer. Instead, he deposited an official check into my account on Thursday evening and included money for Fedex express Monday morning delivery. When I noticed it was not a wire transfer, I called my bank and they said the funds were available, but if I want to be safe, wait 3 business days. Buyer asked for a tracking number but when I advised him to give me the bank tel number so I can verify funds, he went dark. I contacted Premier Valley Bank and they said it was a fake. That was almost an $8,000 loss.
