Cashier's Check Photo Request After Furniture Sale

A reddit report about a other scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I was selling a bunch of office furniture. I know it was absolutely stupid to agree to a cashier's check, but the lady sent me her ID, LinkedIn, personal Facebook page, and the company's name she worked for, which is a legit mid-size chocolate shop at the mall. It's been such a nightmare receiving the check. She complained about how expensive her movers were, so I gave her a small discount, and then she complained about how busy she was, so she finally dropped off the check for the final agreed amount. 4 hours later, she texts me saying she forgot to take a photo of the check. She's an executive assistant to the CEO at the corporate office, so I don't know if she's just all over the place and had to take a photo for proof or what. I deposited online and searched up how to spot a fake check, and it looks legit, but who knows. Does this sound weird?
