Correct.

If they were structuring or smurfing, that would be money laundering. Yes folks those are REAL money laundering terms, Google them.

To answer the title question, I don't think this fraud has anything to do with money laundering. In order to launder money you have to have it to begin with, and they don't (they're just writing a bad check). What they're doing is clearly mail fraud though.

How does that work when they send a bad check?

If you deposit the check and it is bad, then the funds will be debited from your account when it get kicked back to your bank. Then you bank will also charge fees accordingly.

Local pickup? Lol, I would get the check and have the local police waiting for the person that's going to pick the laptop up. Man they are stupid if they are doing local pickup on that scam, local pickup means the local police will get involved because it will all be in their jurisdiction.

I should also ask if you are blind? Craig's list has a bloody link on every for sale page about the fake cashiers check scam.

tell them you'll meet them at your work, and you work at the police station ahah lol, we'll see if they still want to do business..


but of course, if you don't want any headaches/hassles, then just don't answer them...


speaking of money laundering, they talked to us about money laundering during a fake money training session at work once. apparently, it's easier to buy for example a REALLLLLY expensive TV from a large store with a lenient return policy and pay cash (the dirty kind), and then go two or three weeks later and ask for a refund, and obviously they won't have 10 or 12k cash, or at least they don't want to admit it even if they were stupid enough to keep that much cash, so you offer to accept a cheque from them..... and now you have a cheque for 10k that you can deposit in your bank account with squeaky clean money.....
i remember our manager told us that if a customer even hinted at wanting a refund in a cheque to say no immediately....
