Although there is not a single surefire way to identify fraudulent buyers, there are certain countries that have a higher incidence of fraud and often have untraceable addresses. These include: Nigeria, Romania, Macedonia, Belarus, Pakistan, Russia, Lithuania, Egypt, Colombia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. You may want to decline to sell to buyers in these countries, even if the buyer offers to use a U.S. cashier's check. If you are at all suspicious, it's a good idea to do some research.

Beware of potential buyers who offer to pay with a cashiers check for more than the amount of the item. This is a common scam to get you to send them the balance of the overpayment, only to later find out that the cashiers check wasn't valid. Learn More
