Yeah, I've been seeing this now a few times. Either the cashier's check or the "shipping materials" one. I mean, come on - if you're a real business, great - you have better (e.g. real) options to contact people for this. Emailing a random person is just obviously a scam now.
Thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen this particular mutation, though I rarely look in the spamtrap.
I thought the point of cashier's checks was that they're certified through reputable authorities. I always assumed that the bank checked the source right away, like while you wait. (Mind, the only times I've dealt with such checks were when making real-estate down-payments. I've never cashed one, only bought them.)

and yeah, what's the deal with the buzz!! thing??? I use Trillian for all my IMs so I haven't experienced this apparently mindnumbing Yahoo feature...
