You can’t always trust certified checks!!

By Dr. Don Taylor, Ph.D., CFA, CFP, CASL • Bankrate.com

Dear Dr. Don, I have a valuable item for sale and now have an out-of-state buyer. The buyer wants to pay by certified check, but I have decided not to take the check as payment because of check counterfeiting risks. I would prefer a bank wire, but would like to know the safest way to collect this money. Thanks for your response.

Thanks to Dr. Don for the useful information.
