Sadly if you want to see a forged Cashier's check you need only try to sell a car on Ebay. There is a scam, that works like this:
1) You advertise an item of value X
2) Person 'buys' it. Sends you a cashiers check.
3) "whoops, they typoed the number and the cashiers check is for $1000 more than your car (or boat or whatever)" Go head and deposit it, take out the $1000 'extra' and send it back to me.
The check is forged, the fraud depends on banks giving legitimate customers access to 'some' of the funds right away and holding the rest until the check clears. The victim gives away the $1000, and their property, the crook rides off, and 3 days later the check bounces.
