Hi
It's a standard scam. He sends you a cashier's check for more than the piece is worth, but asks you to pay the balance to a "client" in your country that he owes the money to, that for some reason he can't pay directly. Then, a couple of weeks later you find that the original check was fake, but by that time you've lost your money. And the art. Hope you didn't fall for it.
Be very careful.
Bill

I had a friend who fell for something similar; the bank who wrote the check didnt care (an internet check-printing service); the bank who deposited the check into her account didnt care (WF) despite the fact that it was the successful deposit which assured him. The cops didnt care. Not enough manpower - its all out catching speeders and dope-smokers, apparently. Whats worse, is that we could have "stung" the person as they cashed a follow-up payment - the cops just didnt give a damn. Its the collusion of all these agencies that mean that thousands of people are scammed every day. And thats the REAL crime. Fortunately, I learnt a lesson, without being burned myself. Never, EVER, send anyone anything, until you have a written guarantee from your bank that the deposit is genuine. Better yet - do not accept checks. Theyre worthless.
