Cashiers check is issued by the bank not the private party. The teller immediatly deducts the funds from the payor account and then the bank writes you a check. It’s from the bank to you. Guys name isn’t even on it. I’m sure if the payor can prove fraud the bank can go after you mater for it back but it’s not like a regular stop payment.A cashiers check from the bank itself (as the payer) would be safe. A cashiers check from a private party can be cancelled by the private party prior to being deposited into an account. I have sold a lot of cars and will only accept a cashiers check if the buyer is patient enough to wait for me to send them the title once the check clears. They get the car and a bill of sale while we wait for the check to clear. Wire transfer is the safest option.
From google real quick.Have you ever cancelled a cashiers check? I have when the car I went to look at was not what I thought it would be. I was not required to re-deposit the funds. Also, if it is as good as cash why does it take 2-3 days for the funds appear in your account after depositing the check?
Wrong. Cashier’s Checks can be recalled.Wrong. Cashiers checks are issued and guaranteed by the issuing bank. The check writer is out of the picture the moment the bank charges their account and issues the check. I guess one can make a fake check, but not stop a real one.
Not if they're in on the schemeSo again if you get a cashiers check directly from a bank teller tell me how that is not safe? Lol.
The teller isn’t faking it that works there.
It’s not safe because it can be cancelled after it’s written.So again if you get a cashiers check directly from a bank teller tell me how that is not safe? Lol.

Wrong. There is a known history of cashier's checks being canceled days or weeks after a transaction. They used to be secure.Wrong. Cashiers checks are issued and guaranteed by the issuing bank.
