    Yes - there is a common scam going round with forged bankers drafts, you will get someone asking you if they can pay by draft for an item and if they pay a bit extra will you include it in the parcel as cash and forward it on to their chosen shipping location (usually Middle East, Africa, etc.) - the money is supposedly for handling fees at the other end.

    Needless to say the draft will eventually bounce as forged. I always tell them Im happy to do this, in the full knowledge that they will usually Fedex the draft to me at high cost to them....
