potentially counterfeit travelers checks
posting for a friend, he sold something on the myspace personals for 1500, the dude who claims to be representing clients in africa sends him 3000 in travelers checks with my friends name on them and tells him to cash them, and then wire the other 1500 to a third party along with the item that was sold. this to me sounds like a sure fire scam, i would like to know what your guys plays would be
edit: the checks looks legit, seem to have a watermark and look to the untrained observers (my friend and i) to be legit, but we know virtually 0 about travelers checks

Re: potentially counterfeit travelers checks
If they're AMEX or Visa, I'd check the company website. Probably a phone number you could call to verify the check numbers on the top right (RA ###-###-###) are valid and not stolen. Alternatively, deposit them to your bank account and don't wire any money until they clear.
